egyenlíteni

egyenlíteni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to equalize," "to even out," or "to level" in English. It can be used in a variety of contexts, both literal and figurative.

Literally, egyenlíteni can refer to making surfaces flat or smooth. For example, one might egyenlíteni a talajt (to level the ground) before planting. It can also mean to make quantities equal, such as in mathematics when one might egyenlíteni a két oldalt (to equalize the two sides of an equation). In sports, it refers to scoring a goal to tie the game, hence a "leveling" of the score.

Figuratively, egyenlíteni can be used to describe the process of bringing disparate things into balance or harmony. This could involve resolving a dispute, compensating for a disadvantage, or achieving a state of equilibrium. For instance, a company might try to egyenlíteni a nemek arányát (to equalize the gender ratio) in its workforce. In a more abstract sense, it can imply a reconciliation or a bringing to terms. The underlying concept is always about removing inequality or disparity to achieve a state of balance or sameness.
