Usage notes

This term may also be part of the split form of a verb prefixed withmeg-(usually expressing completion), occurring when the main verb does not follow the prefix directly. It can be interpreted only with the related verb form, irrespective of its position in the sentence, e.g.megtudták volnanézni(“they could haveseenit”,frommegnéz).For verbs with this prefix, seemeg-;for an overview,Appendix:Hungarian verbal prefixes.

• Ezt nem eszemmeg!―I will not eat this [up]; i.e., I will not complete eating it.
