Feloszlanak

Feloszlanak is a Hungarian verb meaning to disintegrate, to break apart, or to disperse into smaller parts or components. The action describes a process in which a single unit ceases to exist as a whole and becomes divided or scattered. The form feloszlanak is used with plural subjects in the present tense (for example: A tömegek feloszlanak a demonstráció végén).

Feloszlanak occurs across different contexts. In everyday language it can describe crowds dispersing, while in science it denotes decomposition or fragmentation of materials into simpler parts. In biology, geology or materials science it is used to express breakdown into constituents. It is often contrasted with oldódik, which means to dissolve in a solvent, and with felbomlik, which emphasizes a collapse or cracking of structure.

Etymology and related terms: the verb is formed with the prefix fel- attached to the root oszlan (to scatter or spread). It belongs to a family of verbs that describe dispersion, disintegration, or breakup, with feloszlás (disintegration) as a related noun and felbomlik as a closely related verb describing a more abrupt collapse.

Examples: Az anyagok feloszlanak vízben, úgy hogy egyszerűbb részecskékké bomlanak. A demonstráció végén a tömegek feloszlanak, és különváltak. A kísérleti proposítiók feloszlanak több kisebb, összefüggő elemmé, amikor megváltoztatják a körülményeket.
