félretolni

Félretolni is a Hungarian verb that literally translates to "to push aside" or "to shove aside." However, its usage extends beyond the physical act of moving something. In a figurative sense, félretolni can mean to disregard, ignore, or set aside something that is considered unimportant or inconvenient. This could apply to ideas, feelings, responsibilities, or even people. For example, someone might félretolni a problem they don't want to deal with, or félretolni the advice of others.

The verb is often used in contexts where a decision is made to not engage with a particular matter, perhaps due to lack of time, interest, or perceived significance. It implies a deliberate act of not giving something due attention. In some social situations, it can also mean to sideline someone, to exclude them from a group or a conversation. The nuance of félretolni depends heavily on the context in which it is used, but generally conveys a sense of dismissal or avoidance. It is a common verb in everyday Hungarian conversation.
