Bejegyzés

Bejegyzés in Hungarian is a noun that refers to a single item recorded in a log, diary, register, or database. It denotes an individual entry within a sequence of records and can be used across a variety of contexts.

In personal writing, bejegyzés is used for a diary or journal entry. In online media, it commonly appears in the compound form blogbejegyzés, meaning a post on a blog, while feljegyzés or naplóbejegyzés may be used for more general diary entries. In everyday language, bejegyzés can stand alone when the context clearly indicates a record or note.

In administrative and legal contexts, bejegyzés describes an official record in a public registry, such as ingatlan-bejegyzés (an entry of a property right in the land registry) or cégbejegyzés (the registration of a company) or a change bejegyzése in the registry. In information technology and data management, it can mean a row or record in a database or a log entry, for example adatbejegyzés or naplóbejegyzés.

Etymology: the word derives from be- (into, upon) plus jegyzés (record, note), indicating that something has been entered into a record.

Usage notes: bejegyzés is a neutral, general term. When precision is needed, more specific terms are preferred, such as blogbejegyzés for a blog post, adatbejegyzés for a database entry, or ingatlan-bejegyzés in property registries. The plural is bejegyzések.
