feltépni

Feltépni is a Hungarian verb that literally translates to "to tear up" or "to rip up." It can be used in a variety of contexts, both literal and figurative.

In a literal sense, feltépni can refer to the act of physically tearing something, such as paper, fabric, or even the ground. For example, one might feltépni a letter that they no longer wish to keep, or a gardener might feltépni weeds from their flowerbed. The action implies a forceful and often destructive removal.

Figuratively, feltépni can describe the act of abruptly interrupting or disturbing something. It can mean to "break in on" a conversation or activity, or to "disturb" someone's peace. For instance, someone might feltépni into a room without knocking, or a sudden noise could feltépni someone's concentration. This usage emphasizes an unwelcome intrusion.

Another figurative meaning relates to emotions or memories. Feltépni can describe something that resurfaces or is brought back to the surface, often in an unwelcome or painful way. This might be a forgotten memory, a past trauma, or a strong emotion that suddenly reappears. In this sense, it suggests something being "torn up" from a buried state.

The verb's core meaning revolves around forceful separation or disruption, whether of physical objects, social interactions, or internal states. The context in which feltépni is used determines its precise meaning.
