elpárologni

Elpárologni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to evaporate" or "to vaporize." It describes the process by which a liquid turns into a gas or vapor. This transformation can occur due to an increase in temperature or a decrease in pressure.

In a literal sense, elpárologni refers to physical processes like water evaporating from a surface when heated or a puddle drying up after rain. The particles within the liquid gain enough kinetic energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them together in the liquid state, allowing them to escape into the gaseous phase.

Figuratively, elpárologni can also mean to disappear, vanish, or fade away, often quickly and without a trace. For example, one might say that an opportunity has elpárologni, meaning it has been lost or is no longer available. Similarly, a feeling of sadness could elpárologni as a person's mood improves. This figurative usage highlights the idea of something ceasing to exist or be present, much like a liquid that has completely evaporated. The verb is commonly used in both everyday conversation and scientific contexts in Hungary.
