tárcsázza

Tárcsázza is a Hungarian word that translates to "dial" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of making telephone calls. When someone says "tárcsázza a számot" it means "dial the number." This action involves inputting a sequence of digits into a telephone device to connect to another phone line. The term can refer to the physical act of turning a rotary dial on older phones or pressing buttons on a keypad of a modern phone.

Beyond its literal meaning related to telephones, "tárcsázza" can occasionally be used metaphorically to suggest initiating or starting something, though this usage is less frequent and more colloquial. For instance, one might say "tárcsázza a kalandot" meaning "dial up adventure," implying a readiness to embark on an exciting experience. However, the primary and most widely understood meaning of tárcsázza remains firmly rooted in the action of dialing a telephone number. The word itself is derived from "tárcsa," which means disc or dial, referring to the original mechanism of older telephones.
