elhajolunk

elhajolunk is a Hungarian word that translates to "we drift away" or "we wander off" in English. It is the first-person plural form of the verb elhajol, which means to drift, wander, or stray. The word can be used in both literal and figurative contexts.

Literally, elhajolunk can describe the physical act of moving away from a place or person. For example, someone might say "A folyóról elhajolunk a tengerbe" which means "We drift away from the river into the sea." This implies a passive movement, carried by currents or other forces.

Figuratively, elhajolunk can refer to a mental or emotional departure. It can suggest losing focus, deviating from a topic of conversation, or even losing one's way in life. For instance, "Az eredeti témától elhajolunk" translates to "We are drifting away from the original topic." It can also imply a gradual distancing from relationships or shared goals.

The nuance of elhajolunk lies in its implication of a gradual, often unintentional, movement away. It is not a sudden departure, but rather a slow process of becoming detached or lost. The word carries a sense of passive movement and a potential loss of direction or connection.
