tíztehúsz

tíztehúsz is a Hungarian phrase that literally translates to "ten-twenty". It is commonly used to refer to a period of time, specifically the hours between 10:00 and 11:00 AM or 10:00 and 11:00 PM. The exact interpretation often depends on the context of the conversation. For instance, when discussing a daytime event, "tíztehúsz" would indicate the late morning. If referring to a nighttime activity, it would denote the late evening. The phrase is informal and often used in casual conversation rather than in formal written communication. It is a concise way to express a specific hour within a general timeframe. There is no direct English equivalent that captures the same colloquial feel, though "ten to eleven" or "between ten and eleven" are functional translations. The phrase is particularly prevalent in Hungarian everyday speech.
