pihentetni

Pihentetni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to rest," "to relax," "to repose," or "to lay off." It can be used in a variety of contexts to describe the act of ceasing activity or allowing something to be idle. The verb often implies a period of inactivity that is beneficial for recovery, rejuvenation, or maintenance.

In the context of a person, pihentetni refers to taking a break from work or physical exertion. This could involve sleeping, napping, or simply engaging in leisurely activities to reduce stress and fatigue. For example, someone might say "szeretnék pihentetni egy kicsit" which means "I would like to rest a little."

The verb can also be applied to inanimate objects or systems. For instance, a machine might need to be pihentetni after prolonged use to prevent overheating or damage. Similarly, a piece of land might be left fallow, or pihentetni, to allow its soil to recover its fertility. In a financial context, pihentetni can mean to lay off employees temporarily or to put investments on hold. The core idea remains the cessation of activity for a beneficial pause.
