visszanyomják

Visszanyomják is a Hungarian verb that translates to "they press back" or "they are pressing back" in English. It is the third-person plural present tense indicative form of the verb visszanyomni. The root verb, nyomni, means "to press" or "to push." The prefix "vissza-" indicates a backward motion or a reversal. Therefore, visszanyomják literally means "they press back" or "they press in return."

The verb can be used in various contexts. Physically, it might describe a group of people pushing something backward or resisting a forward push. For example, if a crowd is trying to move forward and another group is resisting, one might say "a tömeg visszanyomják őket" which means "the crowd is pressing them back."

Figuratively, visszanyomják can refer to a situation where a group is pushing back against an idea, a trend, or an opponent. It implies a defensive or retaliatory action. For instance, if a political party is facing criticism, their supporters might be described as "visszanyomják a kritikát" meaning "they are pushing back the criticism." The word emphasizes a collective action of resistance or counter-pressure. It is a common verb in Hungarian, used in both everyday language and more formal settings to describe situations involving opposition or a backward movement.
