eloldít

eloldít is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to grow old" or "to age" in English. It describes the process of becoming older, both physically and metaphorically. The verb can be used in various contexts, referring to the aging of people, animals, or even inanimate objects.

The root of the word is "öreg," meaning "old." The suffix "-lít" is a verbalizing suffix, transforming the adjective into a verb. Therefore, "eloldít" literally means "to become old." It is often used to describe the natural progression of time and its effects on living beings. For example, one might say "Az idő eloldít minket," which means "Time makes us old."

In a more figurative sense, "eloldít" can also refer to something becoming outdated or worn out due to age or prolonged use. For instance, a building might "eloldít" over time if it is not maintained. The verb carries a neutral connotation, simply describing the process without expressing judgment or emotion. It is a common and fundamental word in the Hungarian language, used in everyday conversation and literature alike.
