Éjfélt

Éjfélt is a Hungarian word that translates to midnight in English. It signifies the transition from one day to the next, specifically the twelfth hour of the night. In many cultures, midnight holds symbolic significance, often associated with new beginnings, endings, and sometimes with mystical or supernatural events.

The concept of midnight is a universal one, though the specific customs and beliefs surrounding it can vary widely. For instance, in Western traditions, midnight is frequently the time for New Year's Eve celebrations, marking the end of the old year and the start of the new. In some folklore, it is considered a time when the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is thinnest, leading to stories and legends of ghosts and spirits appearing.

In a practical sense, midnight is also important for timekeeping and scheduling. It is the point at which daily records are often reset, and it can be a deadline for various activities or events. The word "éjfélt" in Hungarian encapsulates all these temporal, cultural, and symbolic aspects of this specific hour.
