Távolodni

Távolodni is a Hungarian verb. It is the imperfective aspect of the verb "távolodik." The verb translates to "to move away," "to drift away," or "to become distant" in English. It can be used in both literal and figurative senses.

Literally, távolodni describes the physical act of increasing the distance between two or more objects or individuals. For example, a boat távolodik from the shore, or two people távolodnak from each other. This usage implies a process of gradual separation.

Figuratively, távolodni can refer to the emotional, intellectual, or social distancing of individuals. It can describe a relationship becoming strained or breaking apart, a person losing interest in a topic, or a group's shared understanding or goals diverging. For instance, friends might távolodni over time due to differing life paths, or an idea might távolodni from its original conception. The verb emphasizes a process of becoming less connected or involved. The context in which távolodni is used determines whether the meaning is physical or abstract.
