visszaállíthatatlan

visszaállíthatatlan is a Hungarian adjective that translates to "irreversible" or "irretrievable" in English. It describes something that cannot be undone, changed back, or restored to its original state. The word is formed from the verb "visszaállítani," meaning "to restore" or "to reinstate," with the suffix "-hatatlan" indicating a lack of possibility or capability.

The concept of visszaállíthatatlan applies to a wide range of situations. In a physical sense, it might refer to damage that cannot be repaired, such as a shattered vase or a decomposed organic substance. In a more abstract or metaphorical context, it can describe decisions that have been made, actions that have been taken, or consequences that have occurred, for which there is no turning back. For example, a deeply hurtful comment might be considered visszaállíthatatlan in terms of the emotional impact it has had, even if apologies are offered. Similarly, certain environmental changes, like the extinction of a species or significant climate alteration, are often described as visszaállíthatatlan. The term emphasizes a finality and the absence of any means to revert to a previous condition.
