tapadáshoz

Tapadáshoz is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to stick" or "to adhere." It describes the action of one surface or object attaching itself to another, often through a sticky or adhesive quality. This can be a physical process, such as glue sticking to paper, or a more metaphorical one, like a memory sticking in someone's mind.

The verb can be used in various contexts. In a literal sense, one might say "a papír tapad a ragasztóhoz" (the paper sticks to the glue). It can also describe the way certain materials cling together, like "az ujjai tapadtak a kenyérhez" (his fingers stuck to the bread).

Beyond physical adhesion, tapadáshoz can also refer to a strong emotional attachment or a persistent presence. For example, "az emlék tapadt az elméjéhez" (the memory stuck in his mind) implies a memory that is difficult to forget. Similarly, a person might be described as having a "tapadó" personality, meaning they are clingy or overly attached. The word can also be used in a more general sense of clinging to something, like a person clinging to a belief or a habit. The root of the word relates to "tapasz," meaning plaster or bandage, further emphasizing the idea of adherence.
