Beltéri

Beltéri is a Hungarian adjective meaning indoors or inside, used to describe things related to the interior of a building or enclosed space. It contrasts with kültéri, which refers to the outdoors. The term appears in architecture, design, and everyday language to specify location, use, or conditions inside a structure.

Etymology and usage: Beltéri is formed from the prefix be- plus tér (space) with the adjectival suffix -i, indicating belonging to or pertaining to the inside. It is commonly combined with nouns to create compound terms that designate indoor spaces, equipment, or activities. The word is widely used in technical contexts such as construction, HVAC, interior design, as well as in general descriptions of environments or events held indoors.

Common contexts and examples: beltéri világítás (indoor lighting), beltéri ajtó (interior door), beltéri klíma or beltéri hőmérséklet (indoor climate or temperature), beltéri egység (indoor unit in a split-system air conditioner), beltéri sport (indoor sport), beltéri növényzet (indoor plants), and beltéri használat (indoor use). In signage and catalogs, beltéri is used to distinguish products or spaces designed for indoor deployment from their outdoor counterparts. The term is flexible across disciplines, but generally denotes conditions, components, or activities confined to interior spaces.
