Szétrepíteni

Szétrepíteni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to scatter," "to fling apart," or "to burst apart" in English. It is a transitive verb, meaning it requires a direct object. The verb describes the action of causing something to break into pieces and disperse in various directions.

The word is formed from the prefix "szét-" which signifies separation or dispersal, and the verb "repíteni," meaning "to throw" or "to fling." Therefore, "szétrepíteni" literally means to throw apart or to fling into pieces.

This verb can be used in various contexts. For instance, one might szétrepíteni a papírt (to tear apart paper), szétrepíteni a fát (to splinter wood), or szétrepíteni a szilánkokat (to shatter into shards). It can also be used metaphorically, such as szétrepíteni az álmaikat (to shatter their dreams). The effect is typically one of sudden, forceful fragmentation and scattering.
