Vibrál

Vibrál is a Hungarian verb meaning to vibrate or oscillate rapidly. The basic sense is a physical motion characterized by quick, repeated changes in position. The infinitive form is vibrálni, and the present tense form vibrál is used for third-person singular (it vibrates). The word is commonly found in technical contexts as well as everyday language, and it is related to other European uses of the same root that give rise to the English word “vibrate.” The root is often linked to Latin vibrare and to French vibrer, entering Hungarian through standard vocabulary development.

In usage, vibrál describes a property of objects rather than an action performed on them. It is typically intransitive: the subject vibrál, and the vibration may be a consequence of operation, resonance, or external influence. It appears in descriptions of machinery and devices (for example, a motor vibrál, a készülék vibrál), in acoustics (a húrok vibrálnak), and in everyday observations of movement or instability. In medical or physiological language, vibrál can be used to describe rhythmic tremor or oscillatory movement, though more specialized terms such as rezgés or remegés may also be employed.

Related terms include rezgés (vibration), rezeg (to vibrate), vibráció (vibration, especially in technical contexts), and vibrating-related adjectives like rezgő. Vibrál therefore sits within a broader vocabulary for motion and oscillation in Hungarian, spanning physics, engineering, music, and daily speech.
