üvegé

üvegé is a Hungarian term that translates to "glass" or "made of glass" in English. It refers to objects or materials constructed from glass, a brittle, amorphous solid that is typically transparent or translucent. The word is commonly used in everyday language to describe various items, such as drinking glasses (ivóüvegé), window panes (ablaküvegé), or decorative glass objects.

The properties of üvegé are well-known, including its hardness, inertness, and susceptibility to breakage. Depending on its composition and manufacturing process, glass can exhibit a wide range of characteristics, from the clear and fragile glass used for tableware to the more robust and specialized glass used in construction or scientific equipment.

In a broader sense, "üvegé" can also be used metaphorically. For instance, a "glass ceiling" (üvegé mennyezet) refers to an invisible barrier that prevents certain individuals, typically women or minority groups, from advancing to higher positions in their careers. This metaphorical usage highlights the perceived transparency and yet insurmountable nature of such obstacles. The term's versatility allows it to denote both a physical substance and a conceptual barrier.
