elenged

Elenged is a Hungarian verb meaning to release, let go, or set free. It can apply to physical objects or to more abstract withdrawals, such as releasing someone from a constraint, letting someone depart, or relinquishing control. The form is built with the prefix el- added to the verb enged (to permit, to allow), conveying a sense of removing or loosening a constraint. The infinitive is elengedni, and elenged is used in finite forms to express actions like “releases,” “released,” or “let go.”

Typical senses include:

- Physical release or letting go of an object or person, such as letting go of a grip or allowing someone to leave.

- Releasing from constraint or obligation, for example releasing a prisoner, a debt, or a duty.

- Metaphorical release, such as letting go of the past, letting go of a grudge, or freeing oneself from attachment.

Usage notes:

- Elenged is transitive and requires a direct object in its core sense (the thing being let go, freed, or released).

- It is commonly used with time to express forgiveness or exemption, such as forgiving a debt or allowing someone to go free.

Common phrases and related terms:

- elengedni a kezét (to let go of someone’s hand)

- elengedni a fogságot vagy a köteléket (to release from captivity or constraint)

- elengedés (release, letting go)

- elengedhetetlen (indispensable; from the metaphorical sense of releasing a constraint)

In summary, elenged describes the act of removing binding or restraint, whether in literal, legal, financial, or emotional contexts. It is a versatile verb for conveying freeing, permitting, or ceasing to hold onto something.
