tölcséres

Tölcséres is a Hungarian word that translates to "cone-shaped" or "conical" in English. It is used to describe an object that has the form of a cone, a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base (usually circular) to a point called the apex or vertex. This shape is common in nature and in manufactured items.

In everyday Hungarian, "tölcséres" might be used to describe various items. For example, a "tölcséres fagyi" refers to ice cream served in a cone. The cone itself, often made of wafer, is a common vessel for holding frozen desserts. Beyond food, the term can apply to objects like traffic cones, which are designed to be highly visible and easily stackable due to their conical shape. Funnels, used to guide liquid or fine-grained substances into a container with a small opening, are also tölcséres in form. Scientific instruments, architectural elements, and even natural formations like volcanoes can be described as tölcséres if they exhibit a conical structure. The underlying characteristic is the gradual narrowing from a wider base to a single point.
