átszakadni

átszakadni is a Hungarian verb that literally translates to "to break through" or "to tear through." It is commonly used in a figurative sense to describe a sudden, often dramatic, change or breakthrough. This can refer to overcoming an obstacle, achieving a long-sought goal, or experiencing a significant emotional release. For instance, someone might say their determination "átszakadt" their doubts, meaning they finally pushed past their hesitations. Similarly, a dam could "átszakadni" if it fails under pressure, leading to a sudden flood.

The verb implies a forceful and often unexpected transition from one state to another. It carries a sense of overcoming a barrier, whether physical, mental, or emotional. The word is composed of the prefix "át-" which signifies "across" or "through," and the verb "szakadni," meaning "to tear" or "to break." This etymology reinforces the idea of something giving way or being breached. Usage can range from describing a physical event to a more abstract psychological experience.
