kéregethet

Kéregethet is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to beg" or "to scrounge" in English. It describes the act of soliciting something from others, often money, food, or other necessities, through persistent requests or pleading. The verb can be used in various contexts, ranging from a person in genuine need asking for help to someone seeking favors or donations.

The term often carries a slightly negative connotation, implying a degree of persistence that might be seen as intrusive or undignified. However, it can also be used neutrally to describe a situation where someone is in a position of needing to ask for assistance. For example, a child might kéregethet for candy, or a homeless person might kéregethet for spare change. The context in which the verb is used helps to determine the specific nuance of its meaning.

In some instances, "kéregethet" can also refer to a more informal or less direct form of asking, akin to "hinting" or "fishing" for something. This usage might imply that the person asking is not directly stating their need but is trying to elicit a generous offer from another. The core idea remains the solicitation of something from someone else, driven by a desire or need.
