szétválódik

The Hungarian verb "szétválódik" translates to "separates," "diverges," or "splits apart" in English. It describes a process where something that was once together, united, or in a common path, breaks into distinct parts or moves in different directions. This can be applied to various contexts, both literal and figurative.

In a physical sense, "szétválódik" can refer to objects or substances dividing. For example, a substance might separate into its constituent components, or two objects joined together might come apart. Think of a mixture that settles and its layers "szétválódik," or a rope that frays and its strands "szétválódik."

Figuratively, the term is often used to describe the divergence of opinions, paths, or relationships. People's ideas can "szétválódik," leading to disagreements or different perspectives. Two friends might find their life paths "szétválódik" as they pursue different opportunities. In a more abstract sense, a single concept or theory might "szétválódik" into several sub-categories or interpretations. The core idea is the transition from a unified state to one of distinct, separate entities or directions.
