felülreagáltak

Felülreagáltak is a Hungarian word that translates to "overreacted" in English. It is used to describe a situation where a person or group's response to a stimulus or event is disproportionately strong, excessive, or inappropriate given the circumstances. This can manifest in various ways, including exaggerated emotional reactions, overly aggressive actions, or a level of concern that far exceeds the actual threat or issue at hand.

The term implies a misjudgment of the situation, where the intensity of the reaction is not warranted. It can be used to criticize someone's behavior as being unnecessarily dramatic or alarmist. For example, if someone becomes extremely angry or upset over a minor inconvenience, it could be said that they "felülreagáltak."

The concept of overreacting is subjective to some extent, as what one person considers an appropriate response, another might deem excessive. However, the general understanding is that the reaction goes beyond a reasonable or proportionate level. It often suggests a lack of composure, an inability to maintain perspective, or an emotional state that clouds judgment. The word is commonly used in everyday conversation to comment on or explain someone's seemingly irrational behavior.
