Könnynyaláb

Könnynyaláb is a term derived from Hungarian, literally translating to "tear beam" or "beam of tears." It is often used metaphorically to describe a sudden or overwhelming rush of emotion, particularly sadness or grief. The imagery suggests a concentrated outpouring of sorrow, like a beam of light or a concentrated substance. This expression is not a scientific or medical term but rather a poetic and evocative phrase used in informal contexts to convey the intensity of emotional distress. Its usage implies a powerful, almost tangible experience of sadness. While not a formally defined concept, it captures a relatable human experience of profound emotional vulnerability and the feeling of being overwhelmed by one's feelings. The term can be applied to individual experiences or to describe a collective sense of sorrow.
