feloldja

Feloldja is a Hungarian verb formed by the prefix fel- attached to the stem old, which means to loosen, dissolve, or unlock. The prefix fel- often signals completion, upward movement, or removal of a state, so feloldja conveys meanings such as to release, to dissolve, to lift a restriction, or to relieve a tension. The verb is transitive and takes a direct object.

Etymology and usage: The word belongs to a productive prefixation pattern in Hungarian, combining fel- with old. Its senses cover both concrete processes (dissolving a substance) and abstract actions (removing constraints, easing mood). For example, it can describe dissolving a substance, lifting a ban, or easing emotional or physical tension.

Conjugation and forms: Feloldja is conjugated regularly. Present tense forms include feloldom, feloldod, feloldja, feloldjuk, feloldjátok, feloldják. The infinitive is feloldani and the past participle is feloldott. The intransitive counterpart feloldódik means “to become dissolved or relieved” and is used without a direct object.

Common collocations: feloldani feszültséget, feloldani a tilalmat, feloldani egy korlátozást, feloldani az adósságot.
