elszót

elszót is a Hungarian verb that translates to "misspoken" or "said in error." It is the past tense, singular form of the verb "elszólni magát," which means "to let slip," "to say something unintentionally," or "to blurt out." The verb implies a moment of carelessness or a lapse in judgment where an inappropriate or unintended statement is made. It often carries a connotation of slight embarrassment or regret for the speaker. The root of the word comes from "szó," meaning "word."

The concept of "elszót" is common in everyday conversation and literature, highlighting the fallibility of human speech. For instance, someone might "elszót" a secret they were not supposed to reveal, or they might "elszót" a comment that offends someone, even if it wasn't their intention. The term is not typically used in formal or technical contexts, but rather describes a common social mishap. Understanding "elszót" involves recognizing the nuance of unintended communication and the social implications that can follow.
