Alapítói

Alapítói is a Hungarian term formed from alapító (founder). It is used as an attributive adjective or in noun phrases to indicate something related to the founders of an organization, company, or movement, or belonging to the founders themselves. Common uses include phrases such as alapítói jogok (founders’ rights), alapítói testület (founding board), or alapítói kör (founding circle).

As a stand-alone noun it is not typically used to name a person; the ordinary words are alapító (singular) for a founder and alapítók (plural) for founders. Alapítói functions mainly to describe status or relation in compound expressions. In legal and organizational language the term frequently appears in contexts describing founding status, founding actions, or founding documents, and it appears in neutral, descriptive prose rather than evaluative language.

Etymology and form: alapítói is derived from alapító with the appropriate suffix, yielding a form that means “founding” or “of the founders.” It often appears in phrases that modify a noun to express relation to the organization’s origin.

Related terms include alapító, alapítók, and commonly used compounds such as alapító okirat (founding charter) and alapítói státusz (founding status). In practice, alapítói confirms the connection to the founders, while alapító or alapítók designate the people themselves.
