átírja

Átírja is the present tense, third-person singular form of the Hungarian verb átírni, meaning to rewrite or revise text. The prefix át- signals change or alteration, and the base ír means to write. The combination is used for rewriting or extensively editing written material. The form is also used in polite writing, since the formal second person in Hungarian uses the same third-person singular conjugation (Ön átírja).

Grammar and forms: Átírja is a transitive verb and requires a direct object in the accusative, for example: A szerző átírja a fejezetet. Other conjugations include átírom (I rewrite), átírod (you rewrite), átírta (he rewrote), and future constructions such as át fogja írni. The corresponding noun for the act is átírás, meaning a rewrite or revision.

Usage: The primary sense is to rewrite or heavily edit a text, altering its content, wording, or structure to improve clarity, accuracy, or style. It is common in journalism, publishing, academia, and editing processes. The term can also describe revising a draft after feedback or study, not merely correcting minor errors.

Computing sense: In information technology, átírja can mean to overwrite a file or data, replacing its previous contents with new information. This usage is close to felülír, but emphasizes complete replacement of the existing data rather than incremental updates.
