elirányítani

Elirányítani is a Hungarian verb that translates to redirect, misdirect, or steer away. It is formed by combining the prefix "el-" which often indicates something being done away from a starting point or in a different direction, and the verb "irányítani" meaning to direct or guide.

The primary meaning of elirányítani is to change the course or direction of something or someone. This can be applied literally, such as redirecting traffic on a road or steering a boat away from an obstacle. It can also be used metaphorically. For instance, one might elirányítani a conversation to a different topic or elirányítani a person's attention away from something.

In a more negative context, elirányítani can imply deception or leading someone astray. This could involve misdirecting someone to a wrong location or misleading them about the truth of a situation. The intention behind the redirection can vary from neutral guidance to deliberate manipulation.

The verb is commonly used in everyday Hungarian. Examples include elirányítani a vendégeket a bejárattól (to redirect the guests from the entrance), elirányítani a figyelmet a problémáról (to divert attention from the problem), or elirányítani valakit az útról (to lead someone astray from the path). The specific nuance of elirányítani is often determined by the surrounding context.
