szétrepülnek

The Hungarian phrase "szétrepülnek" translates to "they fly apart" or "they scatter" in English. It is a verb that describes the action of multiple entities moving away from a central point in different directions, often with a sense of suddenness or dispersion. The word is formed from the prefix "szét-" meaning "apart" or "out," and the verb "repülnek," which is the third-person plural present indicative form of "repül," meaning "to fly."

This term can be used in a literal sense, such as describing a flock of birds suddenly taking flight in various directions when startled, or a burst of confetti scattering into the air. Figuratively, "szétrepülnek" can refer to people dispersing from a gathering, ideas diverging from a common theme, or even components of a system breaking apart. The specific nuance of the phrase often depends on the context in which it is used, conveying a sense of dispersion, fragmentation, or a rapid spreading out. For instance, if a project team is disbanded, one might say their efforts "szétrepülnek." Similarly, if a heated argument leads to people storming off in different directions, their departure could be described as "szétrepülnek."
