átszívnak

Átszívnak is a Hungarian verb that literally translates to "to suck through" or "to siphon through." It describes a process where a liquid or gas is drawn or transferred from one place to another, often by means of a tube or hose. This action implies a passive movement driven by a pressure difference or suction.

The term can be used in various contexts. In a medical setting, it might refer to drawing blood into a syringe or draining fluid from a wound. In a domestic context, it could describe siphoning gasoline from a car's tank or transferring liquids between containers using a siphon. It can also be used metaphorically to describe a gradual or subtle transfer of something, like ideas or influence.

The etymology of the word can be broken down into "át-" meaning "through" or "across," and "szív" meaning "to suck" or "to inhale." Together, they form the concept of actively drawing something through a medium. The plural form of the verb is also "átszívnak," used when referring to multiple subjects performing the action.
