elnémulni

Elnémulni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to fall silent," "to become quiet," or "to cease speaking." It is derived from the verb "némulni," which means "to become silent." The prefix "el-" often indicates a completion or a change of state, suggesting a more definitive or thorough silencing.

The verb can be used in various contexts. It might describe a person who intentionally stops talking, perhaps due to surprise, thought, or a desire to listen. For example, "Hirtelen elnémult, amikor meghallotta a hírt" translates to "He suddenly fell silent when he heard the news." It can also describe a collective cessation of sound, such as a crowd or a performance ending. In a more figurative sense, "elnémulni" can refer to something that fades away or disappears, losing its voice or presence. For instance, "Az utolsó dallam is elnémult a teremben" means "The last melody also faded away in the hall." The verb is commonly used in literature and everyday speech to convey the absence of sound or speech.
