szemrevételez

Szemrevételez is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to inspect," "to examine," or "to survey" in English. It generally refers to the act of looking at something carefully and critically, often to assess its condition, quality, or nature. The term implies a visual inspection, a close look, rather than a more in-depth analysis that might involve touching or manipulating the object.

The verb can be used in various contexts. For instance, one might "szemrevételez" a building to check for structural damage, a piece of machinery to ensure it is functioning correctly, or a document to verify its contents. It can also apply to abstract concepts, such as when a committee "szemrevételez" a proposal to evaluate its feasibility. The emphasis is on a thorough visual appraisal, often for the purpose of making a judgment or decision.

While "inspect" is a common English equivalent, "szemrevételez" can sometimes carry a nuance of being a preliminary or quick examination, though it can also denote a more detailed scrutiny depending on the context. It is a versatile verb used in both formal and informal Hungarian communication when referring to the act of careful observation.
