Sodródik

Sodródik is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to drift," "to be carried along," or "to be swept away" in English. It is often used to describe the movement of objects or people by natural forces like wind, water, or currents. For instance, a boat might sodródik down a river, or leaves might sodródik in the wind. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe a lack of direction or purpose, as in someone allowing themselves to sodródik through life without a clear goal.

The verb can be conjugated in various tenses and moods to reflect different situations. The present tense, sodródik, indicates an ongoing action. The past tense, sodródott, signifies that the drifting has already happened. The future tense, sodródni fog, suggests that an event of drifting will occur. The conditional mood, sodródna, implies a hypothetical situation where drifting might happen.

While primarily referring to physical movement, sodródik can also describe a state of being passive or unresisting to external influences. This can extend to situations where someone is following the crowd or conforming to prevailing opinions without critical thought. The etymology of the word suggests a connection to concepts of being loose or unattached, further reinforcing the idea of being moved by external forces.
