Megszabta

Megszabta is a Hungarian term that literally translates to "had it cut" or "was cut." However, its idiomatic usage is more nuanced and often refers to a situation where someone has been unfairly treated, taken advantage of, or had their resources diminished. It implies a loss that was imposed upon them, often through deception or manipulation. The feeling associated with "megszabta" is one of being cheated or having something unjustly taken away.

This term can be applied in various contexts. For example, if someone is overcharged for a service, they might feel they have been "megszabta." Similarly, if a business partner unfairly takes a larger share of profits, the other partner could claim they have been "megszabta." It can also refer to situations where one's freedom or autonomy is restricted in an unwelcome way, as if a boundary has been imposed upon them. The core meaning revolves around an unwelcome imposition that results in a loss or disadvantage for the individual.
