visszafordít

Visszafordít is a Hungarian verb meaning "to reverse" or "to undo." It is commonly used in various contexts to describe actions that involve reversing a process, direction, or state. The verb is derived from the prefix *vissza-* (meaning "back," "reverse," or "again") and the verb *fordít* ("to turn" or "to rotate").

In everyday language, visszafordít can refer to physically reversing the direction of movement, such as turning a vehicle backward or reversing a tape recording. For example, one might say *Visszafordítom a tevében a felvételt* ("I’m rewinding the recording on the TV"). It can also describe undoing an action, such as reversing a decision or correcting an error. In this sense, it may be used interchangeably with *megfordít* ("to reverse" or "to invert"), though visszafordít often carries a stronger implication of returning to an earlier state.

In technology and computing, visszafordít is frequently used to describe reversing operations, such as undoing a file deletion or reversing the order of elements in a sequence. For instance, in software development, developers might refer to *visszafordítva* (the past participle) when discussing algorithms that reverse data structures.

The verb is conjugated like other regular verbs in Hungarian, following standard verb endings. Its usage is widespread across Hungarian-speaking regions, including Hungary, Romania (where it is also used in the Székelyland region), and other parts of the Carpathian Basin. While visszafordít is primarily a transitive verb, it can also function intransitively when describing actions that naturally involve reversal, such as a car moving backward.
