sürgetni

Sürgetni is a Hungarian verb meaning to urge, to push for action, or to hasten a process. It denotes applying pressure or prompting someone to act, as well as accelerating a timeline or procedure. The sense can be directed at a person, a decision, or a situation, and it often implies external pressure rather than voluntary willingness. In many contexts it is used to describe trying to speed up a result or to compel timely action.

Grammatical notes: Sürgetni is transitive; the object is typically a person or a plan, and it is followed by an infinitive clause or a noun phrase describing the act to be performed, e.g., sürgetni valakit a döntés meghozatalára, sürgetni az ütemtervet. The related noun sürgetés denotes the act of urging or pressing, and the adjective sürgető means urgent or pressing.

Etymology: The verb derives from the noun sürgetés and the stem sürget-, with the -ni infinitive. Its sense is closely tied to urgency and pressure.

Examples:

- A főnök sürgette a határidő betartását.

- Politikai pártok sürgették a gyors döntést.
