Belemerült

Belemerült is a Hungarian verb that translates to "submerged," "immersed," or "delved into" in English. It describes the act of something or someone being completely covered by a liquid, or figuratively, being deeply absorbed in an activity, thought, or emotion. The word can be used in both literal and metaphorical contexts.

Literally, belemerült refers to physical submersion. For example, a boat that has sunk would be described as having belemerült a vízbe (submerged in the water). Similarly, a person jumping into a pool might belemerült a vízbe (immerse themselves in the water). The intensity of the submersion can vary; it can be a full immersion or just partially covered.

Figuratively, belemerült signifies deep engagement. Someone engrossed in a book might say they have belemerült a könyvbe (delved into the book). This implies a complete focus, where external distractions fade away. It can also describe being overwhelmed by feelings, such as when someone belemerült a bánatba (is submerged in sorrow). In this sense, it conveys a powerful emotional state where the individual is deeply affected. The context in which belemerült is used is crucial for understanding its precise meaning.
