felfalják

"Felfalják" is a Hungarian verb that translates to "they devour" or "they eat up" in English. It is the third-person plural present tense form of the verb "felfalni". The root of the verb, "fal", means to eat or devour, and the prefix "fel-" can indicate completion, intensity, or upward movement, depending on the context.

In its literal sense, "felfalják" describes the act of a group of individuals or animals consuming something entirely, often with great speed or eagerness. For example, "A farkasok felfalják a zsákmányukat" means "The wolves devour their prey."

However, "felfalják" can also be used metaphorically. It can describe something being consumed or used up rapidly, such as time or resources. For instance, "Az adósság felfalják a jövedelmüket" could mean "The debts are eating up their income." It can also imply being overwhelmed or consumed by something, such as worries or emotions. In this figurative sense, "A gondolatok felfalják" might suggest "The thoughts are consuming them." The specific nuance of the word is often determined by the surrounding context in a sentence.
