nadrággal

Nadrággal is a colloquial Hungarian term that translates roughly to "with pants" or "wearing pants." It is commonly used in everyday conversation to describe the act of being dressed in trousers, as opposed to other forms of legwear or being undressed. The term is straightforward and lacks any specialized or technical meaning.

Its usage often arises in contexts where the distinction between wearing pants and not wearing them is relevant. For example, one might say "Megyek a boltba nadrággal" (I'm going to the store with pants on) to emphasize that they are properly dressed for public appearance, or conversely, "Otthon vagyok, nadrág nélkül" (I'm at home, without pants) to indicate a state of casualness or undress. The phrase is not typically found in formal writing but is a common idiomatic expression in spoken Hungarian. It can also be used humorously or ironically. For instance, in a situation where someone is unexpectedly overdressed or unusually formal, a friend might remark, "Milyen komolyan nadrággal!" (How serious, with pants on!). The term itself is a simple combination of "nadrág" (pants) and the instrumental case suffix "-gal" (with).
