szemléz

Szemléz is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to review," "to browse," "to scan," or "to survey" in English. It implies a process of looking over something with a degree of attention, often for the purpose of understanding, evaluating, or selecting. The specific nuance of "szemléz" can vary depending on the context.

When referring to text, "szemléz" often means to skim or read through something to get a general idea of its content, rather than reading it in meticulous detail. For example, one might "szemléz" a newspaper to see the headlines or "szemléz" a book to decide if they want to read it further. In a more formal context, it can mean to inspect or examine something carefully. A critic might "szemléz" a film, or an inspector might "szemléz" a building for structural integrity.

The act of "szemlézés" can also extend to observing or surveying a wider scene or landscape. One might "szemléz" a panorama from a mountaintop, taking in the overall view. It can also be used metaphorically, such as when a politician "szemléz" public opinion, meaning they are assessing or gauging it. The core idea remains a process of looking and comprehending, with varying degrees of depth.
