kápráznak

kápráznak is a Hungarian term that translates to "they are showing off" or "they are bragging" in English. It describes a behavior where an individual or group is deliberately trying to impress others with their possessions, achievements, or abilities. This can manifest in various ways, such as boasting about wealth, exaggerating accomplishments, or displaying expensive items prominently.

The act of kápráznak often carries a negative connotation, implying a lack of genuine confidence or an insecurity that drives the need for external validation. It can be seen as an attempt to gain admiration or envy from others, sometimes at the expense of sincerity. While some level of self-promotion is natural, excessive kápráznak is often perceived as ostentatious and potentially disingenuous.

The specific context in which kápráznak occurs can influence its interpretation. In some social settings, a mild form of displaying success might be acceptable, while in others, it could be viewed as highly inappropriate. The term is generally used by observers to describe the actions of others, rather than by individuals to describe their own behavior. It highlights a perceived superficiality in how someone is presenting themselves.
