szétszakítani

Szétszakítani is a Hungarian verb meaning "to tear apart," "to rend," or "to rip asunder." It is a transitive verb, requiring a direct object. The verb can be used in both literal and figurative senses.

Literally, szétszakítani can describe the physical act of tearing something into pieces. For example, one might szétszakítani a piece of paper or szétszakítani a rope. This implies a forceful separation into multiple parts.

Figuratively, the verb is often used to describe situations where relationships, groups, or even abstract entities are divided or broken apart. It can refer to the act of separating people, such as a family being szétszakított by conflict or emigration. It can also describe the disintegration of a united front or an agreement. For instance, a political party might be szétszakított by internal disputes. In a more emotional context, it can describe a deep sense of being torn or divided within oneself, though this usage is less common than referring to external divisions. The imperfective aspect of the verb is szétszakítani, while the perfective aspect is szétszakítani. The past tense forms are szétszakított (he/she/it tore apart) and similar conjugations for other persons. The future tense is formed with the auxiliary verb fog, such as fogja szétszakítani (he/she/it will tear apart).
