utálkozol

Utálkozol is a Hungarian verb meaning "to dislike" or "to hate," derived from the combination of *utál* ("to hate") and the suffix *-kozol*, which indicates a reciprocal or mutual action. The term is often used colloquially to describe a mutual dislike or animosity between two or more people, emphasizing that the feeling is shared by both parties.

In everyday Hungarian conversation, *utálkozol* is frequently employed to express a sense of mutual resentment or tension, particularly in social or professional settings. For example, one might say *"Utálkozol vele"* ("You hate each other") to describe a strained relationship between two individuals. The verb can also be used more broadly to describe a general aversion, though its reciprocal nature makes it distinct from simpler expressions of dislike.

The phrase is commonly found in informal speech and media, often in contexts where relationships are described as conflicted or hostile. While *utálkozol* carries a stronger emotional weight than neutral terms like *nem szeret* ("do not like"), it remains a flexible expression that can apply to various degrees of mutual antipathy. Its usage reflects the Hungarian language’s tendency to convey nuanced social dynamics through verb conjugations and suffixes.

In literary and artistic contexts, *utálkozol* may be used metaphorically to describe broader conflicts, such as ideological clashes or cultural tensions, though its literal meaning remains rooted in interpersonal relationships. The term’s simplicity and directness make it a popular choice for conveying mutual dislike in both spoken and written Hungarian.
