összeomlani

Összeomlani is a Hungarian verb that translates to "to collapse," "to break down," or "to fall apart." It can be used in both literal and figurative senses.

Literally, "összeomlani" describes the physical collapse of an object or structure. For example, a building might összeomlani due to age, damage, or a natural disaster. Similarly, a bridge could összeomlani under the weight of traffic.

Figuratively, the verb is used to describe a person's mental or emotional breakdown. Someone experiencing extreme stress, grief, or despair might "összeomlani." This implies a loss of control, an inability to cope, and a state of being overwhelmed. It can also refer to the failure or disintegration of systems, plans, or relationships. For instance, a business could "összeomlani" due to financial difficulties, or a long-standing friendship might "összeomlani" after a betrayal. The concept often signifies a sudden and complete breakdown rather than a gradual decline.
