rámutat

rámutat is a Hungarian verb meaning to point to, to indicate, or to draw attention to something. It is a compound formed from mutat (to point or indicate) with the directional prefix rá-, which adds a sense of directing attention toward the target. The infinitive form is rámutatni; the verb is conjugated as rámutat, rámutatsz, rámutat, rámutatunk, rámutattok, rámutatnak in the present and follows standard Hungarian conjugation patterns in tenses such as rámutatott (past tense) and rámutatva (gerund/participial form).

Usage and syntax: rámutat is used with a target, typically expressed as a noun in the appropriate case with the -ra/-re suffix or, when referring to a person, with the corresponding case ending. Common constructions include rámutat vmire (to point to something) and rámutat valakire (to point at someone) or to indicate a specific issue or fact. The sense is both literal (a physical gesture) and figurative (drawing attention to an issue, error, or aspect in a discussion). It often emphasizes directing attention rather than simply showing.

Examples:

- A tanár rámutatott a hibára. (The teacher pointed out the error.)

- A grafikon rámutat a növekedésre. (The graph indicates the growth.)

- A szakértő rámutatott a szükséges lépésekre. (The expert drew attention to the necessary steps.)

Related terms include megmutat (to show something to someone) and kijelöl (to designate or mark). rámutat differs from these by stressing the act of directing attention toward a target.
