elszólni

elszólni is a Hungarian verb that describes the act of uttering something unintentionally or accidentally, often revealing a secret or an inappropriate thought. It implies a lack of control over one's speech, leading to an unintended disclosure. This can happen due to nervousness, excitement, or simply a momentary lapse in judgment. The verb carries a sense of regret or embarrassment for the speaker, as the revealed information was not meant to be shared. It is often used in contexts where discretion is important or when someone accidentally says something that could cause trouble. For instance, someone might elszólni a surprise party plan or accidentally reveal a piece of gossip they were asked to keep confidential. The nuance of the word suggests a fleeting, uncontrollable vocalization rather than a deliberate act of speaking. It is distinct from simply lying or intentionally deceiving, as the core of elszólni lies in the accidental nature of the utterance.
