szájszögig

The Hungarian word "szájszögig" translates to "to the corner of the mouth" or "to the angle of the mouth" in English. It is a compound word formed from "száj" (mouth) and "szög" (corner, angle), with the suffix "-ig" indicating "up to" or "to."

This term is often used idiomatically in Hungarian to describe a wide smile or a broad grin, implying that one's smile extends all the way to the corners of their mouth. For example, a phrase like "szájszögig vigyorog" means to grin from ear to ear or to beam with a wide smile. It can also be used in a more literal sense to describe the physical extent of a smile or an expression.

Beyond its literal and idiomatic meanings related to facial expressions, "szájszögig" can also be used metaphorically to express extreme satisfaction, joy, or sometimes even a mischievous or cunning delight. The intensity implied by the phrase suggests a full, unrestrained expression of emotion.
