színező
noun · Hungarian
“a colouring book (from színezni, 'to colour')”

Hauling cheap art supplies from the discount store Pepco, the vlogger lingers over one shelf: «még több felnőtt színező» (“even more adult colouring books”). Színező is a colouring book, formed from színezni (“to colour”), which comes from szín (“colour”).

Hungarian builds nouns from verbs with tidy endings like this all the time. Alongside it the clip name-checks a whole craft aisle: filctoll (felt-tip pen), festék (paint), vászon (canvas), and szám-festő (paint-by-numbers). For learners it’s a painless way to see how szín (“colour”) branches into a family of everyday words.
