Kölcsönzott

Kölcsönzott is a Hungarian word that translates to "borrowed" in English. It is derived from the verb kölcsönöz, which means "to borrow." The term is used to describe something that has been temporarily taken from someone else with the intention of returning it later. Kölcsönzott can refer to both tangible and intangible items, such as books, tools, or even favors.

In Hungarian, kölcsönözés refers to the act of borrowing, while kölcsönzés is the act of lending. Kölcsönözés can also be used in a broader sense to describe any act of taking something from someone else, even if it is not intended to be returned. For example, one might say "kölcsönözött egy pillantást a könyvből" (borrowed a glance at the book) to mean they quickly looked at the book without intending to read it.

The concept of kölcsönözés is deeply ingrained in Hungarian culture, reflecting the communal and cooperative nature of Hungarian society. It is a common practice to borrow items from neighbors or friends, and it is also customary to lend items to others when needed. This practice fosters a sense of community and mutual support among Hungarians.
