zsákkal

Zsákkal is a Hungarian term that translates to "sack" or "bag" in English. It is a common and versatile word used to refer to a container made of flexible material, typically cloth, burlap, or plastic, used for carrying or storing goods. The size and material of a zsákkal can vary widely depending on its intended use, from small drawstring pouches to large industrial sacks.

In agricultural contexts, zsákkal often refers to burlap sacks used for transporting grain, potatoes, or other produce. These are durable and breathable, making them suitable for preserving the freshness of harvested crops. In everyday language, zsákkal can describe shopping bags, laundry bags, or even sacks for personal belongings. The term is also used metaphorically in Hungarian to describe something that is cumbersome or unmanageable, as in "ez egy nagy zsákkal" which could mean "this is a big problem" or "this is a heavy burden." The etymology of the word is believed to be of Slavic origin.
