explodált

Explodált is a Hungarian verb form used to describe that something has exploded. It functions as the past tense and past participle of the loan verb explodál, which is derived from the English word explode. The form is widely understood in everyday speech and in many kinds of contemporary writing, but in formal or native Hungarian style, speakers often prefer native expressions such as felrobbant or robbanás történt to describe explosions.

Etymology and usage context: Explodál appears in Hungarian as a borrowed verb from English (and related European languages) and has been assimilated into regular Hungarian conjugation. The past tense singular form is explodált, and the past participle used attributively is explodált. The word can denote literal explosions, such as a bomb or device detonating, but it is also used metaphorically to describe rapid or dramatic increases, intensifications, or events—for example, a market or popularity that “explodált.”

Register and style: Explodált is more common in spoken language, media reporting, and technical or journalistic contexts. In formal literary or official Hungarian, alternatives like felrobbant, robbanás történt, vagy kirobbantás are often preferred for precision and stylistic standards. When used metaphorically, explodált conveys suddenness and scale, similar to its English counterpart.
