Átugorja

Átugorja is a Hungarian verb meaning to jump over or to leap across something. It can be used in both literal senses, such as jumping over an obstacle, and figurative senses, such as skipping or bypassing an issue or step. The prefix át- indicates movement across a barrier, modifying the base verb to express crossing over rather than simply moving.

The verb is formed from the prefix át- attached to the verb stem related to ugrani, “to jump.” As a transitive verb, átugorja requires a direct object when the action is performed on something (for example, the fence or a question). In practical use, you will encounter sentences like “A futó átugorja az akadályt,” meaning “The runner jumps over the obstacle,” or “Ő átugorja a kérdést,” meaning “He/she skips the question.”

A related noun is átugrás, which denotes the act or instance of jumping over. The participle form átugorva can function in compound tenses or as a participial modifier. The verb follows standard Hungarian conjugation patterns, with the prefix changing the meaning from simple jumping to crossing over.

Átugorja is commonly found in sports, physical education, and everyday language in both concrete and metaphorical contexts. It is also used in discussions about maneuvers around rules or procedures, where “jumping over” a step or detail may be described.
