Könyökre

Könyökre is a Hungarian word that translates to "elbow" in English. It refers to the joint connecting the upper arm and the forearm. The elbow allows for a range of motion, including flexion (bending) and extension (straightening), as well as pronation and supination of the forearm. Anatomically, the elbow joint is formed by the articulation of three bones: the humerus (upper arm bone), the ulna (the larger of the two forearm bones), and the radius (the smaller forearm bone). Ligaments and muscles provide stability and facilitate movement at this complex joint.

In a figurative sense, the Hungarian phrase "könyökre tenni" literally means "to put on the elbow," but it is commonly used to express the idea of imposing or burdening someone with a task or responsibility. It implies that something is being placed upon another person, often in an unwanted or difficult way. This idiomatic expression captures a sense of being given a load to carry, metaphorically speaking. The word "könyökre" itself, however, primarily refers to the anatomical structure.
