végigsétál

Végigsétál is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to walk through" or "to stroll through" in English. It describes the act of traversing a space, whether physical or metaphorical, by walking. The prefix "végig" signifies completion or entirety, indicating that the entire length or extent of something is covered during the walk.

This verb can be used in various contexts. For instance, one might "végigsétál a parkon" (walk through the park) or "végigsétál az utcán" (walk along the street). It implies a leisurely pace, suggesting an unhurried experience of the surroundings. The focus is not just on the movement itself but on the journey and the observation of what is encountered along the way.

Beyond literal walking, "végigsétál" can also be used figuratively. Someone might "végigsétál egy problémán" (walk through a problem), meaning to examine it thoroughly or to work through it step by step. Similarly, "végigsétál egy könyvet" could imply reading it from beginning to end. In these abstract uses, the verb retains its sense of thoroughness and completion. The emotional connotation is generally neutral, simply describing the action of traversing or experiencing something fully.
