szivárogtat

Szivárogtat is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to leak" or "to seep" in English. It describes a slow and gradual escape of a fluid or gas from a confined space. This can occur in various contexts, both literal and figurative.

Literally, szivárogtat can refer to a pipe leaking water, a roof leaking rain, or a container allowing its contents to escape slowly. For example, a sentence might describe a faulty faucet that continuously szivárogtat water into the sink. In industrial settings, it might describe a chemical substance szivárogtat from a damaged vessel.

Figuratively, szivárogtat can be used to describe the slow release of information. This is often seen in contexts like journalism or politics, where sensitive details or secrets are gradually revealed, perhaps unintentionally or strategically. For instance, news might be described as szivárogtat from government sources. The term implies a lack of control over the dissemination of the material.

The verb can also be applied to more abstract concepts, such as emotions or ideas slowly surfacing. A person might be described as szivárogtat their true feelings, meaning they are gradually revealing them rather than expressing them openly. The core meaning remains the gradual, uncontrolled or deliberate release of something that should ideally be contained.
