világítani

Világítani is a Hungarian verb meaning "to shine," "to glow," or "to illuminate." It describes the act of emitting light, whether naturally or artificially. The word can be used in a literal sense, such as describing the sun or a lamp, or metaphorically to convey understanding or knowledge.

In its most common usage, "világítani" refers to the emission of light. For example, a star "világít" (shines) in the night sky, or a light bulb "világít" (lights up) a room. It can also describe the act of radiating a soft, steady light, like embers that "világítanak" (glow) in a fireplace.

Beyond its literal meaning, "világítani" can also be used figuratively. To say someone's eyes "világítanak" (shine) might suggest they are happy, excited, or have a spark of inspiration. Similarly, if an idea or explanation "világít" (illuminates) a complex topic, it means it brings clarity and understanding. The verb can also imply revealing or making something known, as in "az igazság világít" (the truth shines through). The conjugation of "világítani" follows standard Hungarian verb patterns, changing based on tense, person, and number.
