Bevallása

Bevallása is a Hungarian noun meaning confession or admission of truth, guilt, or facts. It denotes an act of acknowledging something that may have been hidden or disputed and is used in legal, religious, and everyday contexts.

In legal language, bevallás refers to an admission of guilt or to the disclosure of information by a suspect or defendant, which may influence proceedings. In religious contexts, it denotes the confession of sins before a priest and may be part of sacramental practice. In everyday language, bevallás can refer to any candid admission or disclosure; the phrase “Bevallása szerint” means “according to his/her confession.”

Bevallása is the third-person possessive form of bevallás: “a bevallása” meaning “his/her confession.” It is declined like other Hungarian nouns; related forms include bevallását (accusative) and bevallásával (instrumental). Related terms include beismerés (admission, acknowledgment) and tanúvallomás (witness testimony). Bevallás and its derivatives appear across formal and informal registers, varying in tone from neutral to evaluative depending on context.

Usage notes: Bevallás often conveys content rather than the act alone and may be cited as a source in testimonies or judicial records. In journalism and scholarship, precise distinction between bevallás (confession) and beismerés (admission) is common, with bevallás sometimes implying a fuller narrative of events.
