Lefagyott

Lefagyott is a Hungarian adjective and past participle derived from the verb lefagyni, meaning that something has frozen or turned into ice. It denotes a state resulting from freezing and is used for both natural phenomena and man-made objects.

The term can refer to literal freezing, such as water, roads, or soil becoming ice, as in a weather or travel context. It is also used in technology to describe a computer or device that has stopped responding, for example: “A számítógép lefagyott.” In addition, lefagyott can appear in figurative language to convey a halt or pause in activity, though more common colloquial variants may be used in some contexts.

Grammatically, lefagyott is the past participle form of lefagyni; the prefix le- typically conveys completion, while fagyni means to freeze. As an adjective, lefagyott modifies a noun and can appear in constructions such as lefagyott víz (frozen water) or lefagyott út (frozen road), aligning with the noun in number and case.

Related terms and concepts include fagy (frost), fagyás (frostbite or freezing), and megfagy (to freeze solid or to be completely frozen). Lefagyott is commonly encountered in weather reports, travel advisories, and computing contexts, where it conveys a complete or sudden state of being frozen.
