Eláztatva

Eláztatva is a Hungarian word that translates to "soaked" or "drenched" in English. It is typically used to describe a state of being thoroughly wet, often due to prolonged exposure to water or other liquids. The word can be applied to various objects and situations. For instance, a person can be eláztatva after being caught in a heavy downpour without an umbrella, or a piece of clothing can become eláztatva if it falls into a puddle. The term implies a significant level of saturation, suggesting that the item or person is not just slightly damp but thoroughly permeated with liquid.

Beyond its literal meaning, eláztatva can also be used metaphorically. In this context, it might describe someone overwhelmed by emotions, such as being eláztatva by grief or eláztatva by joy. The intensity of the liquid saturation in the literal sense is paralleled by the intensity of the emotional state in the metaphorical usage. This word, therefore, carries a strong sense of thoroughness, whether it pertains to physical wetness or emotional immersion.
