bonyolítotok

Bonyolítotok is a Hungarian term that translates to "you complicated it" or "you made it complicated." It is used in everyday conversation to express that someone has unnecessarily made a situation more difficult or complex than it needed to be. The phrase often carries a tone of slight exasperation or mild reproach.

The usage of bonyolítotok is generally informal and is most commonly heard in spoken Hungarian. It can be applied to a wide range of scenarios, from simple everyday tasks to more significant problems. For example, if someone is struggling to assemble a piece of furniture due to unclear instructions, they might exclaim "Bonyolítotok!" to the person who provided the instructions. Similarly, if a straightforward discussion becomes bogged down in unnecessary details or arguments, someone might use this phrase to indicate that the conversation has been unnecessarily complicated.

The verb "bonyolít" means to complicate, whereas the "-otok" suffix indicates the second-person plural present tense, meaning "you (plural or formal) complicate." Therefore, "bonyolítotok" directly addresses the entity responsible for the complication. While it can be used towards a group of people, it is also frequently used informally to address a single person in a somewhat playful or less aggressive manner than a direct accusation. The implication is that the action or inaction of the addressed party has introduced unwanted complexity.
