Személyesít

Személyesít is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to personalize" or "to personify" in English. It generally refers to the act of making something or someone more personal, or attributing human qualities to something non-human.

The verb can be used in various contexts. In a more literal sense, it can mean to adapt or tailor something to an individual's needs or preferences. For example, one might "személyesít" their online profile by adding personal photos and information. It can also describe the process of making a service or product more user-friendly and individually relevant.

In a figurative sense, "személyesít" can mean to give human characteristics to an inanimate object, animal, or abstract concept. This is similar to the English concept of personification in literature or art. For instance, a storyteller might "személyesít" a storm, describing it as angry or mischievous. In a psychological context, it can refer to attributing intentions or feelings to non-human entities, a common tendency in human cognition.

The root of the word is "személy," meaning "person." Therefore, the act of "személyesít" inherently involves the concept of a person or personal identity. The verb signifies a transformation towards a more personal or human-like representation.
