átvállalni

"Átvállalni" is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to take over," "to assume," "to undertake," or "to accept responsibility" in English, depending on the context. It signifies the act of assuming a task, burden, role, or obligation that was previously held by someone else or was not yet assigned.

The verb is often used in situations where one person or entity takes on a responsibility or duty. For example, a company might átvállalni a project from another firm, or a person might átvállalni a debt. In a family context, one sibling might átvállalni the care of an aging parent. It can also imply a voluntary act of stepping in to help or to manage a situation.

The nuanced meaning of "átvállalni" can be seen in its various applications. It can denote the transfer of ownership or rights, such as when a business átvállalja another's assets. It can also refer to accepting a burden, like átvállalni a difficult job or a significant risk. In some instances, it suggests a formal agreement or legal transfer of responsibility. The core idea remains consistent: the act of accepting something that was previously handled or existed elsewhere.
