Lenyomni

Lenyomni is a Hungarian verb meaning to press down, push down, or to suppress. It is formed with the verb nyomni (to press) and the prefix le-, which conveys downward or finishing action, resulting in the infinitive lenyomni. The term is widely used in both physical and metaphorical senses.

In everyday language, lenyomni describes a physical action such as pressing a button, stepping on a pedal, or pushing an object downward. Examples include lenyomni egy gombot (to press a button) or lenyomni the gas pedal by pressing the accelerator. Metaphorically, it can mean to suppress, quell, or overpower something, as in lenyomni a felkelést (to crush a rebellion) or lenyomni egy ellenfél erőfeszítéseit (to overpower an opponent’s efforts).

Grammatically, lenyomni is a regular transitive verb. The stem lenyom- combines with standard Hungarian inflection for the infinitive and its conjugations. Present indicative forms: lenyomom, lenyomod, lenyomja; lenyomjuk, lenyomjátok, lenyomják. Past tense forms include lenyomtam, lenyomtad, lenyomta, lenyomtuk, lenyomtátok, lenyomták. The future can be expressed with a form like fog lenyomni or by using lenyomni in a periphrastic construction.

Lenyomni is common across domains, from casual speech to technical contexts involving keyboards, control panels, or vehicle pedals, and it also appears in political or social discourse where suppression or defeat is described. See also verbs with prefix le- that denote downward or completed actions.
