Megkarcolhatják

Megkarcolhatják is a Hungarian phrase that translates to "they can scratch it" or "it can be scratched." It is often used in contexts where something is vulnerable to damage or alteration, particularly through superficial means like scratching. The phrase implies a potential for wear and tear, or a slight degradation of its surface or condition.

The meaning can be literal, referring to the physical act of scratching an object, such as a car's paint or a piece of furniture. In this sense, it highlights a susceptibility to damage from sharp objects or abrasive materials. However, "megkarcolhatják" can also be used metaphorically. It might suggest that a reputation, a plan, or an idea is susceptible to minor criticisms or setbacks that, while not fundamentally destroying it, can nonetheless mar its appearance or effectiveness.

In everyday conversation, the phrase might be used to warn someone about the fragility of an item, or to express concern about the potential for minor damage. For instance, if a new phone has a screen that is easily scratched, someone might say, "This screen megkarcolhatják." Figuratively, if a carefully crafted proposal faces minor objections, one might muse that "the details megkarcolhatják." The core idea remains one of vulnerability to superficial, yet noticeable, damage.
