Lángok

Lángok is the plural form of láng, a Hungarian noun meaning flame or blaze. It denotes a flame or fire and is also used metaphorically to convey intensity or passion. In ordinary speech, lángok can describe a building on fire, a candle’s glow, or any situation characterized by brightness and heat. The term frequently appears in literature, headlines about fires, and poetic language.

Láng is a native Hungarian word; its etymology is not fully settled in popular dictionaries, but it has produced related forms such as lángol (to blaze) and lángoló (blazing). The plural lángok follows standard Hungarian pluralization.

In usage, lángok often refers to literal flames: for example, “A ház lángokban égett” means “The house burned in flames.” “Lángok törték át az éjszakát” can be translated as “Flames broke through the night.” In metaphorical usage, it can describe passion, intensity, or upheaval: “a szerelem lángja” (the flame of love), “a forradalom lángjai” (the flames of revolution).

Lángok as a term may appear in art, music, and journalism as a vivid image, but it is not a proper noun unless used as a title or name. The related adjective lángoló and the verb lángol are widely used in various tenses to express burning or blazing.
