kioltódik

kioltódik is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to be extinguished," "to fade," or "to be quenched." It is often used to describe the cessation of light, fire, or a flame. For instance, one might say a candle kioltódik when its flame goes out. This can happen naturally due to lack of fuel or can be deliberately done.

The verb can also be used metaphorically. For example, a hope or a dream can kioltódik if it is lost or abandoned. Similarly, anger or a passion might kioltódik over time or due to external circumstances. In a more abstract sense, a process or a phenomenon can kioltódik if it comes to an end.

The word is derived from the root "olt," which relates to extinguishing or putting out. The suffix "-ódik" is a reflexive or passive suffix, indicating that the action happens to the subject itself, or that the subject is acted upon. Therefore, kioltódik literally means "to extinguish itself" or "to be extinguished." Understanding this etymology can help clarify its usage in various contexts. The verb is conjugated according to standard Hungarian grammar rules.
