Elferdít

Elferdít is a Hungarian word that translates to "to be drunk" or "to be intoxicated" in English. The term is derived from the Hungarian word "elfér", which means "to be full" or "to be satiated". The suffix "-dít" is a common verb-forming suffix in Hungarian, indicating a state or condition. Therefore, "elferdít" literally means "to be made full", referring to the state of being intoxicated due to alcohol consumption.

The concept of elferdít is deeply rooted in Hungarian culture, with alcohol playing a significant role in social gatherings and celebrations. It is often used in everyday conversation to describe someone who has consumed a significant amount of alcohol and is exhibiting signs of intoxication, such as slurred speech, impaired coordination, or a loss of inhibitions.

In Hungarian law, the legal drinking age is 18, and the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for drivers is 0.05%. However, the term elferdít is not typically used in legal contexts but rather in informal settings to describe the state of being intoxicated.

The use of the term elferdít can vary depending on the region and social context in Hungary. In some areas, it may be more commonly used than in others, and its usage can also differ between urban and rural communities. Despite these variations, elferdít remains an essential part of Hungarian language and culture, reflecting the country's rich history of alcohol consumption and social traditions.
