Összecsukódnak

"Összecsukódnak" is a Hungarian verb that translates to "they fold" or "they collapse" in English. It is a reflexive verb, meaning the action is done by the subject to itself. This can describe a physical folding, such as a piece of paper or a piece of furniture, or a more abstract collapse, such as a plan or a system.

The verb is formed from the prefix "össze-" meaning "together" or "into one," and the verb "csukódik" which is the reflexive form of "csuk" meaning "to close." Therefore, "összecsukódnak" literally means "they are closing themselves together."

In a physical context, "összecsukódnak" is used when multiple items are being folded or closed simultaneously. For example, a set of chairs might be described as "összecsukódnak" if they are designed to be folded up and stacked. Similarly, a book's pages could be said to "összecsukódnak" if they are bent together.

In a more figurative sense, "összecsukódnak" can describe the failure or breakdown of something. A business plan might "összecsukódnak" if it proves unworkable, or a political movement could "összecsukódnak" if it loses support and dissolves. The idea of things coming "together" in a negative sense implies a disintegration or collapse. The specific nuance depends heavily on the context in which the verb is used.
