Életénél

Életénél is a Hungarian word that translates to "than his/her life" or "more than his/her life" in English. It is a comparative form derived from the word "élet," meaning "life." The suffix "-énél" indicates a comparison, similar to how "-er" or "-more" functions in English to denote a greater degree of something.

The phrase is used to express that something is of greater importance, value, or intensity than one's own life. For example, one might say they love their child "életénél," meaning they love their child more than their own life. It signifies a profound level of devotion or sacrifice.

This expression is often found in literature, poetry, and common speech to emphasize extreme emotions or commitments. It conveys a sense of ultimate prioritization, where even the most fundamental instinct for self-preservation is superseded by something else deemed more precious. The context in which "életénél" is used is crucial for understanding the specific nuance of the comparison being made.
