Ingadozik

Ingadozik is a Hungarian verb meaning to oscillate, swing, or fluctuate. It describes movement that moves back and forth or states that vary over time. The term applies to both physical motion and abstract changes.

In physical contexts, ingadozik refers to objects swaying or rocking, such as a tree, sign, or banner in the wind. In abstract contexts, it describes fluctuations in quantities like prices, temperatures, moods, or public opinion. For example: "A fa ingadozik a szélben" (The tree sways in the wind) and "Az árfolyam ingadozik" (The exchange rate fluctuates).

Ingadozik is an intransitive verb, typically used with a subject in the nominative case. It is common in news reporting, scientific writing, and everyday speech to convey variability or instability. The related noun ingadozás denotes the act or state of oscillating or fluctuating, as in "az ingadozás mértéke" (the degree of fluctuation).

Usage notes: the term can express physical instability (for instance, something ingadozik in strong wind) or figurative uncertainty (a policy that ingadozik between options). The adjective ingadózón is used to describe something that is oscillating or fluctuating, and ingadozások is the plural form for fluctuations.
