Rágják

Rágják is a Hungarian verb that translates to "they chew" or "they gnaw." It is the third-person plural present tense form of the verb rág, meaning "to chew." The verb describes the action of masticating food or the persistent, often destructive, action of biting or gnawing at something.

In its literal sense, rágják is used to describe animals or people chewing their food. For instance, "A lovak füvet rágják" translates to "The horses are chewing grass." It can also refer to the act of chewing gum.

Beyond literal chewing, rágják can be used metaphorically to describe a persistent, annoying, or bothersome action. For example, "A szúnyogok rágják a lábamat" means "The mosquitoes are biting my legs," implying an irritating sensation. It can also describe something that is worn down by constant friction or gnawing, such as "A patkányok a fát rágják" meaning "The rats are gnawing the wood." The context of the sentence usually clarifies whether the action is literal or figurative.
