lelassított

lelassított is a German word that translates to "slowed down" or "retarded" in English. It is commonly used in the context of physical objects or processes that are moving or happening at a reduced speed. For example, a car engine might be described as lelassított if it is not performing at its usual capacity, or a process might be lelassított due to an external factor. The word can also be used metaphorically to describe a situation that is progressing slowly or experiencing delays.

In a technical or scientific context, lelassított can refer to a decrease in velocity or acceleration. This could be due to friction, resistance, or a deliberate reduction in power. In everyday language, it is more often used to describe a general sense of slowness or lack of progress. For instance, one might say that their internet connection is lelassított if it is taking a long time to load web pages.

The word is derived from the German verb "verlangsamen," which means "to slow down." The past participle form, "verlangsamt," is often used interchangeably with "lelassított" in certain contexts, though "lelassított" can sometimes imply a more inherent or permanent state of being slowed down. The precise nuance can depend on the specific sentence and surrounding words.
