Bosszantó

Bosszantó is a Hungarian term that translates directly to "annoying" or "irritating" in English. It is commonly used to describe people, situations, or objects that cause frustration, vexation, or mild annoyance. The word is derived from the verb "bosszantani," which means "to annoy" or "to pester."

In everyday Hungarian conversation, bosszantó can be applied to a wide range of experiences. For example, a person who constantly interrupts or talks loudly might be described as bosszantó. A persistent minor inconvenience, such as a dripping faucet or a slow internet connection, could also be labeled as bosszantó. The term generally implies a level of irritation that is not severe but is nonetheless unwelcome.

The intensity of "bosszantó" can vary depending on context and tone. While it can be used lightly in jest, it can also express genuine, though usually not extreme, displeasure. It is a common adjective used to express a negative emotional response to everyday disturbances. Unlike stronger words for anger or rage, "bosszantó" typically refers to a more passive and persistent form of annoyance.
