Végighúzva

Végighúzva is a Hungarian term that literally translates to "pulled through" or "dragged through." It is most commonly used in a colloquial context to describe a situation or experience that is prolonged, difficult, and often unpleasant. This could refer to a long and tedious journey, a challenging task that takes an excessive amount of time, or a period of hardship that feels endless.

The phrase conveys a sense of endurance and the feeling of having to push through something that is testing one's patience or strength. It implies that the process is not enjoyable and that the individual is simply trying to reach the end of it. The emotional weight of "végighúzva" often carries connotations of fatigue, frustration, and a desire for the ordeal to be over.

In some specific contexts, it might be used to describe a drawn-out negotiation or a protracted illness. The core meaning remains the same: a long, arduous process that requires significant effort to complete. It's a common idiom in everyday Hungarian conversation to express a shared understanding of such challenging, drawn-out experiences.
