leforduljanak

Leforduljanak is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to fall over," "to topple," or "to overturn." It is a compound verb formed by the prefix "le-" meaning "down" or "off," and the verb "forduljanak," which is a subjunctive form of "fordul," meaning "to turn." The "-janak" ending indicates the third-person plural subjunctive mood.

The verb is commonly used to describe situations where something loses its balance and falls. This can apply to inanimate objects like furniture or structures, as well as living beings such as people or animals. For example, a book might leforduljanak from a shelf, or a person might leforduljanak if they trip.

The subjunctive mood suggests a hypothetical or potential situation. Therefore, "leforduljanak" is often used in sentences expressing a possibility, a wish, or a command that is not yet a reality. It could be used in a sentence like "Ha nem fogják meg, leforduljanak" (If they don't hold it, it will fall over). The context of the sentence clarifies the specific meaning and implication. It is a versatile verb in Hungarian, conveying the idea of an unintentional downward movement or collapse.
