Nyugalmas

Nyugalmas is a Hungarian adjective that denotes a state or quality of calm, tranquil, or peaceful. It can describe people, environments, or phenomena that exude steadiness and lack of agitation. In style, nyugalmas often carries a slightly more literary or descriptive tone than the everyday nyugodt, and it is commonly found in narration, essays, and poetry.

The word derives from nyugalom, meaning peace or quiet, with the adjectival suffix -as indicating a characteristic. It is closely related to nyugodt (calm) and csendes (quiet), though nyugalmas emphasizes a sustained state rather than a momentary condition.

Nyugalmas is used to characterize atmosphere, mood, or physical conditions. Examples include nyugalmas környezet (a calm environment), nyugalmas időjárás or nyugalmas idő (calm weather), and nyugalmas beszélgetés (a peaceful conversation). In everyday speech, nyugodt tends to be more common, whereas nyugalmas appears more in descriptive or literary contexts.

Common collocations include nyugalmas nap, nyugalmas hangulat, and nyugalmas táj. The term can contrast with nyugtalan (anxious, unsettled) or zajos (loud). In translations, nyugalmas is often rendered as calm, tranquil, or placid, depending on context.
