Felszivattyúzni

Felszivattyúzni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to pump up" or "to pump in." It describes the action of transferring a fluid, typically water or another liquid, from a lower level to a higher level using a pump. This process is essential in various applications, including irrigation, draining flooded areas, and supplying water to elevated reservoirs or buildings. The verb implies a forceful or deliberate action of moving the liquid against gravity. It can also be used metaphorically to describe the act of gathering or collecting something in large quantities, though its primary meaning remains literal. The correct conjugation and usage depend on the context and the subject performing the action. For instance, one might say "A gépet felszivattyúzni a vizet" (to pump the water up with the machine) or "A töltőállomáson benzint felszivattyúzni a tartályba" (to pump gasoline into the tank at the filling station). The act of felszivattyúzni requires a pump and a source of energy to operate it.
