Beismerése

Beismerése is a Hungarian noun referring to the act of admitting or acknowledging something. In everyday language, it denotes a declaration that a statement or fact is true. In legal contexts, beismerése specifically denotes an admission of guilt or responsibility by a suspect or accused person and can also describe a formal acknowledgment of a fact relevant to a case.

Etymology and meaning: The word derives from the verb beismer (to admit, to confess). The noun beismerés means an admission or confession, and beismerése is the form used when indicating the admission itself, often with a possessive nuance (e.g., his or her admission).

Usage and contexts: Beismerése appears in legal procedures to describe statements where a person concedes guilt or responsibility. Such admissions can be presented as evidence and may influence the trajectory of a case, subject to rules requiring voluntariness and reliability. Beyond law, beismerése can be used more broadly to refer to an acknowledgment of facts or circumstances in negotiations, contracts, or disputes.

Related terms and distinctions: Beismerés is close in meaning to elismerés (acknowledgment) and bevallás or vallomás (confession or testimony). Beismerése tends to emphasize the act of admitting a specific fact or guilt, whereas bevallás often refers more generally to admitting fault, and vallomás to a sworn statement or testimony.
