lágyuló

Lágyuló is a Hungarian word that translates to "softening" or "becoming softer" in English. It is a verb in its present participle form, indicating an ongoing process of losing firmness or rigidity. The word can be applied to a wide range of contexts, both literal and figurative.

Literally, lágyuló can describe the physical process of something becoming less hard. For example, food that is cooking and becoming tender, such as meat or vegetables, can be described as lágyuló. Similarly, materials that are heated or treated to become more pliable, like wax or certain plastics, are also lágyuló. The term can also refer to the gradual melting of ice or snow.

Figuratively, lágyuló can describe a change in disposition or attitude. A person who is becoming more lenient, compassionate, or less strict can be said to be lágyuló. This might be observed in someone who was initially stern but begins to show empathy or understanding. In a broader sense, it can also describe a situation or atmosphere that is becoming less tense or confrontational, moving towards a more relaxed or agreeable state. The concept of lágyuló implies a transition from a harder, more resistant state to one that is more yielding and gentle.
