könnyezni

Könnyezni is the Hungarian verb meaning "to cry" or "to weep." It describes the physical act of shedding tears, often as a response to emotions such as sadness, grief, joy, or pain. The word is derived from "könny," which means "tear" in Hungarian.

The act of könnyezni is a universal human experience and can manifest in various ways. It can be a silent, solitary experience or an overt display of emotion. The intensity and duration of könnyezni can vary greatly depending on the individual and the circumstances. In Hungarian culture, like many others, könnyezni is generally understood as a natural expression of strong feelings.

While often associated with sadness, könnyezni can also be a sign of happiness or relief. For example, someone might könnyezni at a wedding or upon hearing joyous news. Conversely, it can also be a physical reaction to irritants like smoke or strong winds. The verb can be used in various grammatical contexts to describe present, past, or future actions of crying.
