Aviharos

Aviharos is a Hungarian adjective meaning stormy or tempestuous. It is used to describe weather conditions marked by strong winds, heavy rain, or lightning, and can also be applied metaphorically to describe tumultuous or intense circumstances, moods, or events.

Etymology: The term derives from vihar, meaning storm, with the adjectival suffix -os, which forms words meaning “having the quality of” or “characterized by.” Thus aviharos literally conveys “having the nature of a storm.”

Usage: In meteorology or everyday language it appears in phrases such as aviharos idő (stormy weather), aviharos ég (stormy sky), and aviharos tenger (stormy sea). In figurative use it describes a tumultuous period, a violent argument, or an emotionally unsettled atmosphere, e.g., aviharos politikai események or aviharos hangulat.

Notes: The primary synonym is viharos, though aviharos emphasizes a higher intensity or more dramatic sense of storminess. The term is commonly used in Hungarian-language texts and is not a proper noun. It can appear in both formal and informal contexts, depending on the degree of intensity the speaker intends to convey.
