Kötszókból

Kötszókból is a Hungarian term that translates to "from rags" or "from scraps." It is most commonly used to describe a person's humble or impoverished beginnings, suggesting they came from a background of poverty or lack of resources. The phrase implies a journey from nothing to something, often highlighting resilience, determination, or a fortunate turn of events that allowed someone to overcome their initial circumstances. It can be used both admiringly to acknowledge someone's success despite their origins, and sometimes dismissively to imply a lack of sophistication or ingrained social standing.

The concept of coming "kötszókból" is deeply embedded in various cultural narratives, particularly in societies with a history of significant social stratification. It often serves as a motivational trope, illustrating the idea that one's destiny is not solely determined by birth. While it emphasizes overcoming hardship, it can also carry connotations of being an outsider or not fully belonging to established circles. The term is generally understood and used within the Hungarian language context.
