Érint

Érint is a Hungarian word that translates to "touch" or "contact" in English. It can refer to the physical act of touching something or someone, or it can be used metaphorically to describe a connection or influence. For instance, one might say they felt the "érint" of the wind on their skin, or that a particular piece of art had a profound "érint" on their emotions.

The word "érint" also appears in various idiomatic expressions in Hungarian. For example, "nem érint" literally means "it doesn't touch," but it is commonly used to convey that something is irrelevant or does not concern the speaker. Conversely, "érintett" means "affected" or "involved," indicating that someone or something has been touched or influenced by an event or situation.

In a broader sense, "érint" can also refer to a subtle influence or a passing acquaintance. A fleeting "érint" of an idea might spark creativity, or a brief "érint" with a different culture could broaden one's perspective. The word encapsulates the idea of a connection, however slight, that leaves a trace or makes an impression. Its versatility allows it to be applied to a wide range of interactions, from the most concrete physical sensations to the most abstract emotional or intellectual connections.
