kielégülni

Kielégülni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to satisfy" or "to fulfill" in English. It describes the act of meeting a need, desire, or requirement to a satisfactory level. This can apply to a wide range of contexts, from basic physical needs like hunger to more abstract concepts like ambitions or expectations.

The verb often implies a state of contentment or resolution that follows the satisfaction of a particular want. For instance, one might say "a szükség kielégült" which means "the need has been satisfied." Similarly, it can refer to achieving a goal or completing a task to one's liking. The nuance of "kielégülni" suggests a process that leads to a positive outcome where a prior state of want or incompleteness is resolved.

In a broader sense, "kielégülni" can also be used metaphorically. A person might feel that their intellectual curiosity has been "kielégült" after learning something new, or an artist might feel their creative urge has been "kielégült" upon completing a piece of work. The core idea remains the same: a deficiency or desire has been addressed and resolved, leading to a sense of completeness or relief.
