Tömanyagú

Tömanyagú is an adjective in Hungarian used to describe something that has substantial substance or dense body. It can refer to a person with a sturdy, corpulent build, or to inanimate objects and substances that are heavy, dense, or richly composed. In literary or descriptive prose it may evoke a tactile sense of mass or presence, and in a figurative sense it can describe language, style, or flavor as being full-bodied or weighty.

Etymology and form: the word appears to be formed from a root related to density or concentration, combined with the suffix -anyagú, which in Hungarian conveys “having material” or “made of substance.” The exact development of tömanyagú is not straightforward in modern dictionaries; it is found mainly in older texts, regional usage, or stylistic writing. Because of its historical or regional flavor, it is generally considered archaic or literary in contemporary standard Hungarian.

Usage and nuance: tömanyagú is not a common everyday term. It is most often encountered in literary, historical, or descriptive contexts where a narrator aims to convey weight, mass, or a strong, tangible presence. When applied to people, it can suggest a robust or heavy physique, while when applied to objects or descriptions it emphasizes density, fullness, or richness. It may sound elevated or old-fashioned in modern prose and should be used with awareness of tone and audience.

See also: practical synonyms include tömött (dense, packed), terjedelmes (voluminous), kövér (corpulent), testfelépítés (body build), and for non-physical contexts, olyan terms as teljes, gazdag, vagy testes (rich or substantial, in a broader sense).
