Usage notes
In its most common sense with a true adjectival meaning, the verbal prefix meg- cannot be separated from the rest of the word, for example, János nem megbízható. (“János is not reliable.”) However, as a verb derivative, the verbal prefix in these adjectives (in this case, meg-) may separate from the rest of the form (whether by reversing the order or with another element wedged in), especially following the sentence focus or with the particles is, nem, sem, and se, for example megtekinthető (“viewable”) → nem tekinthető meg (“cannot be viewed”), itt tekinthető meg (“can be viewed here”), meg is tekinthető (“can be viewed as well”).
