áttekinti

Átekinti is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to overlook" or "to disregard" in English. It is a reflexive verb, meaning it is used with a reflexive pronoun (magam, magad, magát, magunkat, magatokat, magukat) to indicate that the subject is performing the action on themselves. The verb is typically used in the past tense, as it describes a completed action.

The most common usage of átekinti is to describe a situation where someone fails to notice or pay attention to something important. For example, "Az ember átekintette a veszélyt" translates to "The person overlooked the danger." In this sentence, the subject (az ember) is the one who failed to notice the object (a veszély).

Another common usage of átekinti is to describe a situation where someone intentionally ignores or disregards something. For example, "A tanár átekintette a diákok hibáit" translates to "The teacher overlooked the students' mistakes." In this sentence, the subject (a tanár) is intentionally ignoring the object (a diákok hibái).

Átekinti is often used in a negative context, as it typically describes a situation where someone has failed to perform their duty or responsibility. However, it can also be used in a more neutral or even positive context, such as when someone chooses to ignore a distraction in order to focus on a more important task. For example, "A művész átekintette a zajt és folytatta a festést" translates to "The artist overlooked the noise and continued painting." In this sentence, the subject (a művész) is intentionally ignoring the object (a zaj) in order to focus on their task (a festés).
