Elolvadni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to melt" in English. It is commonly used to describe the process of a solid substance transitioning into a liquid state due to an increase in temperature. This can apply to various materials, such as ice melting into water, snow melting, or butter melting when heated.

Beyond its literal meaning, "elolvadni" can also be used metaphorically. In this figurative sense, it can describe a feeling of intense emotion, particularly love or happiness, that causes someone to feel overwhelmed, soft, or overcome. For instance, someone might say they "elolvadnak" from a compliment or a romantic gesture, implying they are deeply touched and perhaps a bit weak-kneed from the positive feeling.

The concept of melting is fundamental in both everyday life and scientific contexts. Understanding "elolvadni" is key to comprehending discussions about weather, cooking, and even emotional responses in Hungarian.
