lerágja

lerágja is a Hungarian verb. It is the third-person singular present tense form of the verb lerág. The infinitive form is lerágni.

The verb lerágni generally means to gnaw off, to bite off, or to chew off. It implies a process of removing something by repeated biting or gnawing. For example, one might say that an animal lerágja a csontot, meaning it gnaws off the meat from the bone. It can also be used figuratively to describe something that is a persistent or irritating problem, as in the idiom "lerágja a torkom", which translates to "it gnaws at my throat" and implies someone is constantly nagging or complaining.

The root of the verb is "rág," meaning to chew. The prefix "le-" often indicates a downward motion or the completion of an action. Therefore, lerágni suggests the act of chewing something down or off. The specific meaning in context depends on the object it acts upon. It is a common verb in everyday Hungarian language.
