Elcsúszott

Elcsúszott is a Hungarian word that translates to "slipped" or "slid" in English. It is the past tense of the verb "elcsúszni," which means to slip or slide. This term can be used in a literal sense to describe a physical event, such as a person slipping on a wet surface. For example, "A jégen elcsúszott" means "He slipped on the ice."

Beyond its literal meaning, "elcsúszott" can also be used metaphorically. It can refer to a mistake, a misstep, or a failure to achieve a desired outcome. In this context, it implies a loss of control or a deviation from a planned course. For instance, someone might say a project "elcsúszott" if it did not go as planned or encountered unexpected difficulties. Similarly, it could describe a verbal misstep or an embarrassing remark, suggesting that the speaker "slipped up" with their words. The word carries a sense of an unintended negative event.
