megvakítani

Megvakítani is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to blind" in English. It refers to the act of rendering someone or something unable to see, either temporarily or permanently. The term can be used in a literal sense, describing physical injury or damage to the eyes that causes a loss of vision. For example, a bright flash of light could megvakítani someone momentarily, or a serious accident could permanently megvakítani them.

Beyond its literal meaning, megvakítani can also be used figuratively. In this context, it describes the act of obscuring someone's judgment or understanding, making them unable to perceive the truth or reality of a situation. This metaphorical blinding can be caused by strong emotions, misinformation, prejudice, or overwhelming influence. For instance, someone might be described as megvakított by their love for another person, meaning their affection clouds their ability to see that person's flaws. Similarly, propaganda can megvakítani a population, preventing them from recognizing the injustices or falsehoods being presented. The verb implies a state of being unable to see clearly, whether due to external factors or internal states.
