The sixth sense
edit@Adam78, @Panda10, in the verb pair kér and megkér the prefix changes the argument structure: in the former the object is the thing requested in the latter the person it is requested from. I can't tell if the meaning is affected in any other way. Another example is bíz and megbíz. Should this be added as a submeaning? I checked a few dictionaries but didn't find anything. —Caoimhin ceallach (talk) 22:19, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Caoimhin ceallach, Adam78 I'm not sure if it is a "meaning" of the prefix meg- that it may change the argument structure. I wonder if a usage note would be more appropriate. The roles and behaviors of this prefix are extensive. I've found the following Hungarian linguistic papers written by Szili Katalin:
- A meg- igekötő funkcióiról másképpen I (The function of the Hungarian preverb meg- as a marker of lexical aspect)
- A meg- igekötő funkcióiról másképpen II (A new approach to the functions of the Hungarian preverb meg-, part two)
- A perfektivitás mibenlétéről a magyar nyelvben a meg igekötő funkciói kapcsán (On perfectivity in Hungarian, in terms of the functions of the preverb meg)
