ruházni

The verb *ruházni* is a Hungarian word meaning "to dress" or "to clothe." It is commonly used in both literal and figurative contexts to describe the act of putting clothing on oneself or others, as well as the process of adorning or presenting something in a particular way.

In its most basic usage, *ruházni* refers to the physical act of dressing, such as when someone puts on a shirt, pants, or a coat. For example, one might say *"Ruházom magam"* ("I am dressing myself") or *"Ruházta a gyereket"* ("She dressed the child"). The verb can also be used transitively to describe dressing someone else, such as in *"Ruházom a babát"* ("I am dressing the doll").

Beyond its literal meaning, *ruházni* can be used metaphorically to convey the idea of giving something a particular appearance or character. For instance, one might say *"Ruházta a szót új jelentéssel"* ("She clothed the word with a new meaning"), meaning she gave it a different interpretation or context. This figurative use reflects the broader idea of presentation or embellishment.

The verb is part of the Hungarian verb conjugation system and follows standard patterns for regular verbs in the present tense, past tense, and other grammatical forms. Its past participle form, *ruházott*, is often used in compound tenses and passive constructions.

*Ruházni* is closely related to the noun *ruha*, which means "clothing" or "garment," reinforcing its connection to attire and dress. The verb is widely used in everyday speech and literature, reflecting its importance in both practical and expressive contexts.
