rugaszkodni

Rugaszkodni is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to wrinkle" or "to crease." It describes the formation of lines or folds on a surface, most commonly on fabric or skin.

When referring to fabric, rugaszkodni indicates that a material has developed unwanted lines, often due to improper washing, drying, or storage. For example, a shirt might rugaszkodik if it is not ironed or if it is folded carelessly. This can affect the appearance of clothing and textiles.

In the context of skin, rugaszkodni refers to the natural process of aging, where the skin loses elasticity and develops wrinkles. These lines can appear on the face, hands, or other parts of the body. Factors such as sun exposure, genetics, and lifestyle habits can influence the extent to which skin rugaszkodik. While often associated with aging, temporary wrinkling can also occur on skin due to moisture, such as when fingers become pruned after prolonged immersion in water. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe the creasing of other flexible materials.
