Távolodom

Távolodom is the first-person singular present tense form of the Hungarian verb távolodni, meaning to distance oneself, withdraw, or separate oneself from something or someone, either physically or emotionally. The verb is built from the stem távol- (far) with the suffix -odni to form an intransitive verb of motion or change of state, and the present tense ending -om for the first person singular.

Usage and meaning: Távolodom is used to express intentional or voluntary distancing. It commonly appears with a postpositional phrase indicating the source of distance, such as from a person, situation, or feeling. For example, távolodom a zajtól means “I distance myself from the noise,” and távolodom a haragtól means “I distance myself from anger.” In broader contexts it can describe withdrawal from social interaction, a conflict, or a temptation, for instance távolodom a problémától or távolodom a stressztől.

Conjugation and related forms: The verb távolodni is reflexive in sense and forms a full present-tense paradigm. Examples in the present tense: én távolodom, te távolodsz, ő távolodik, mi távolodunk, ti távolodtok, ők távolodnak. Past tense forms include én távolodtam, te távolodtál, ő távolodott, etc. A related noun távolodás denotes the act or state of distance or withdrawal, while távolodó describes someone who distances themselves.

Etymology: Távolodom derives from távol, meaning far, combined with the infinitive-forming suffix -odni. The word embodies a shift from physical distance to an abstract or emotional distancing in discourse. See also távolodni, távolság, and távolodás.
