perdüllettel

Perdüllettel is a Hungarian word that translates to "with a flick" or "with a swish" in English. It describes a rapid, often graceful movement, typically of an object or a part of the body, that is characterized by a quick, sweeping motion. The word can be used in various contexts to convey a sense of swiftness and agility.

For instance, "a ló perdüllettel fordult" means "the horse turned with a flick of its tail," emphasizing the horse's quick and agile maneuver. Similarly, "a szoknya perdüllettel suhant el mellette" translates to "the skirt swished past him with a flick," suggesting a dynamic and flowing movement. The term is often employed in descriptions of dance, athletics, or any situation where a sudden, decisive movement is involved.

Beyond physical actions, perdüllettel can also metaphorically describe a quick change of attitude or opinion, implying a sudden and unexpected shift. While its literal meaning relates to a physical movement, its figurative use highlights a rapid transformation. The word's sound itself, with its repeated "ül" sound, can evoke a sense of swiftness and lightness. It is a versatile term that adds a nuanced layer to descriptions of motion and change in the Hungarian language.
