lefagyasztja

lefagyasztja is a Hungarian verb meaning "to freeze" or "to cause to freeze." It is the third-person singular present tense of the verb lefagyaszt. The verb can be used in both literal and figurative senses.

Literally, lefagyasztja refers to the process of reducing the temperature of something below its freezing point, causing it to become solid. This can apply to water turning into ice, food being preserved by freezing, or even the physiological process of an organism's body freezing. For example, "A hideg idő lefagyasztja a tavat" translates to "The cold weather freezes the lake."

Figuratively, lefagyasztja can describe a state of being stunned, shocked, or immobile due to fear, surprise, or distress. In this context, it implies a sudden cessation of movement or emotional response. An example would be, "A hír hallatán lefagyasztja a lábait" which means "Hearing the news freezes his legs," implying he is too shocked to move. It can also describe a situation where something is halted or put on hold, such as a project or a process being frozen. For instance, "A kormány lefagyasztja a költségvetést" means "The government freezes the budget." The verb's usage is context-dependent, and understanding the surrounding words is crucial to interpreting its precise meaning.
