It can be interpreted only with the related verb form, irrespective of its position in the sentence, e.g. meg tudták volna nézni (“they could have seen it”, from megnéz). For verbs with this prefix, see meg-; for an overview, Appendix:Hungarian verbal prefixes.

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