Ofárnyalnak

Ofárnyalnak is a Hungarian term that translates to "they become shadowy" or "they are overshadowed." It describes a state of decline, fading, or loss of prominence. The word itself is derived from "árnyék," meaning shadow, and the "-nak" suffix indicates the third-person plural form of a verb, suggesting a process or transformation happening to multiple entities.

The concept of ofárnyalnak can be applied in various contexts. It might refer to a once-famous person whose career has waned, or a once-powerful organization that has lost its influence. It can also describe the fading of traditions, memories, or even physical objects that are no longer as vibrant or noticeable as they once were. The term carries a sense of melancholy, implying a loss of former glory or significance. It is not necessarily a negative term, but it highlights a natural process of change and the eventual diminishing of what was once prominent. The act of "becoming shadowy" suggests a gradual, often imperceptible, withdrawal from the forefront of attention or activity.
