szénsavmentes
Szénsavmentes is a Hungarian adjective meaning "carbonation-free" or "still" when referring to beverages. It indicates that a drink does not contain dissolved carbon dioxide, which is responsible for the fizziness and tingling sensation found in carbonated drinks. Therefore, "szénsavmentes víz" translates to "still water" or "non-carbonated water." Similarly, "szénsavmentes üdítő" refers to a still soft drink. This term is commonly found on beverage labels in Hungary and other Hungarian-speaking regions, distinguishing it from its counterpart, "szénsavas," which means carbonated. Understanding this distinction is crucial for consumers when selecting beverages based on their preference for carbonation. The absence of carbonation often results in a smoother, less intense mouthfeel compared to carbonated alternatives.
