Being very happy and smiling broadly.
خلفية ثقافية
In Hungarian culture, a wide smile is often seen as a sign of great health and vitality. It is especially common to use this phrase when talking about children. Similar to other Central European countries, Hungarians can be reserved in public. Using this idiom often implies a 'breakthrough' of genuine emotion that is too big to hide. In Hungarian folk tales, characters who are honest and 'pure of heart' are often described with this idiom to contrast them with 'vicsorgó' (snarling) villains. Hungarians use the emoji equivalent (😁 or 😍) alongside this phrase frequently in Instagram stories.
