Felszívja

Felszívja is a Hungarian verb form meaning “absorbs” or “soaks up.” It is the third-person singular present indicative of the verb felszívni, which itself is built from the prefix fel- (up, up to completion) and szívni (to suck, to draw in). The word is transitive and typically takes a direct object in the accusative case.
