szénsavtalanul

Szénsavtalanul is a Hungarian adverb that translates to "without carbonation" or "decarbonated." It is primarily used in the context of beverages, particularly those that are typically effervescent, such as soda, sparkling wine, or beer. When a beverage is described as szénsavtalanul, it means that the dissolved carbon dioxide gas has been removed or has escaped, resulting in a flat or still liquid.

This state can occur naturally over time as the carbonation dissipates, or it can be an intentional process. For example, some manufacturers might offer a still version of a typically carbonated drink. In a culinary context, a dish might be described as being made with szénsavtalanul water if a non-carbonated version of a fizzy ingredient is used. The term emphasizes the absence of the characteristic fizz or tingle associated with carbonated drinks. It is a direct descriptor of a liquid's state, indicating a lack of effervescence.
