Átrendezni

Átrendezni is a Hungarian verb meaning to rearrange or reorganize something by changing its order, layout, or structure. It is used for both physical spaces and more abstract arrangements, such as plans, lists, or processes. The prefix át- signals a change of state or a new arrangement, attached to the verb rendezni.

The verb is transitive and takes a direct object in the accusative (for example, átrendezni a szobát). It can describe rearranging furniture and room layouts, reorganizing a workspace, or altering the sequence of items in a plan, a document, or a program. In everyday language it covers both tangible and conceptual reordering, from redesigning a room to restructuring a workflow or a timetable.

Common contexts include interior design and spatial planning, where atmospherics and usability are influenced by layout changes; project and program planning, where activities or agendas are reordered; and data or document organization, such as rearranging lists, tables, or sections of a report. Metaphorically, a organization or system can be described as being átrendezve to reflect a new structure.

Nuances: átrendezni implies intentional modification of arrangement rather than cleaning or tidying. For rescheduling time-related elements, Hungarian more often uses terms like átütemezni or ütemezni, whereas átrendezni focuses on spatial or structural reordering rather than fixed timings.
