különállni

Különállni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to stand apart," "to be separate," or "to break away." It can be used in a variety of contexts, both literal and figurative.

Literally, it refers to physical separation. For example, one might say "A két ház különáll" which means "The two houses stand apart." This implies a distinct space or distance between them.

Figuratively, "különállni" can describe independence or divergence. It can refer to a person's decision to forge their own path, distinct from a group or established norm. For instance, "A művész a hagyományoktól különállt alkotásaival" could be translated as "The artist stood apart with his works from traditions." This suggests a deliberate departure from conventional artistic styles.

The verb can also indicate a separation of ideas or concepts, where one thing is distinct from another. In a more abstract sense, it can describe a situation where entities or groups are no longer united or aligned. For example, a political party might decide to "különállni" from a coalition, signifying their withdrawal and independent stance. The core meaning revolves around a state of being apart, whether physically, ideologically, or organizationally.
