Betekintést

Betekintést is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun betekintés, which denotes an insight, review, inspection or access. The base verb is betekint (be- prefix + tekint “to look”), and the noun often appears in phrases that describe providing, requesting or allowing an overview or access to information or documents.

Grammatically, betekintést functions as the direct object when used with verbs like nyújt (to provide), kér (to request) or biztosít (to grant). The accusative suffix -t is attached according to Hungarian vowel harmony rules: betekintés → betekintést. Common collocations include betekintést nyújt (to give insight into), betekintést kér (to request access) and iratbetekintés (document inspection).

In legal and administrative contexts, betekintést is associated with the right to inspect files or records (betekintési jog), often regulated to ensure transparency and privacy. In everyday use it describes offering a view or explanation that clarifies a subject, such as behind-the-scenes looks in media, academic overviews, or business reports that provide deeper understanding.

Related terms include áttekintés (overview) and bepillantás (glimpse). English equivalents depend on context and may be rendered as insight, access, inspection or review.
