Ráztódik

Ráztódik is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to shake," "to tremble," or "to shiver" in English. It describes a state of involuntary or voluntary movement, often characterized by rapid, back-and-forth oscillations. The specific nuance of the word can depend on the context in which it is used.

In a physical sense, ráztódik can refer to the act of something shaking or vibrating. For example, a building might ráztódik during an earthquake, or a person might ráztódik from cold. It can also describe the shaking of objects, such as when someone ráztódik a bag to get its contents out. The verb is intransitive, meaning it does not take a direct object.

Figuratively, ráztódik can convey a sense of emotional turmoil or instability. A person might ráztódik with anger, fear, or excitement. This usage emphasizes a strong internal reaction that manifests as physical trembling.
