végigvizsgálni

**végigvizsgálni** is a Hungarian verb meaning "to examine thoroughly" or "to scrutinize in detail." The term combines the preposition *végig* ("through, throughout") with the verb *vizsgálni* ("to examine, inspect"). It conveys the idea of a comprehensive, step-by-step analysis or investigation, often implying a systematic approach to understanding a subject, process, or issue.

The phrase is commonly used in both formal and informal contexts, particularly in discussions requiring meticulous attention to detail. For example, one might *végigvizsgálni* a contract to ensure all clauses are correctly understood, or review a scientific study to verify its methodology and conclusions. In everyday speech, it can also describe a thorough examination of personal decisions, such as *végigvizsgálni* one’s spending habits to identify financial inefficiencies.

The verb is transitive, meaning it requires a direct object, such as *végigvizsgálni a dokumentumot* ("to examine the document thoroughly"). It is often used in conjunction with other verbs or nouns to emphasize a comprehensive process, such as *végigvizsgálni a folyamatot* ("to scrutinize the process step by step").

While *végigvizsgálni* shares similarities with other Hungarian verbs expressing examination—such as *megnézni* ("to look at") or *felülvizsgálni* ("to re-examine")—its nuanced meaning distinguishes it as a term for an in-depth, methodical review. The phrase reflects the Hungarian language’s precision in conveying thoroughness and attention to detail.
