lenyelése

Lenyelése is a Hungarian verb meaning "to swallow." It refers to the act of passing food, drink, or other substances from the mouth down the throat and into the esophagus. This is a fundamental physiological process essential for survival, allowing organisms to ingest nutrients and liquids. The act of swallowing involves a complex coordination of muscles in the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus. It can be initiated voluntarily but also occurs reflexively. In addition to its literal meaning, "lenyelése" can also be used metaphorically. For example, one might say they "swallowed their pride," meaning they overcame their ego to do something. Similarly, it can describe the acceptance or absorption of something, such as information or a difficult situation. The process of swallowing is crucial for digestion and can be affected by various medical conditions.
