Beírás

Beírás is a Hungarian noun derived from the verb beírni, meaning to write in or to insert. It denotes the act of entering or inserting information into a written record, a database, or a form, as well as the resulting entry itself, such as a line in a log or a database record.

In computing and information technology, beírás refers to user input provided to a computer system. This can be text, numbers, or other data entered via keyboard, touch, voice, or other input devices. Phrases like beírási művelet (input operation) or beírási adatok (input data) are common in technical contexts. The term emphasizes the action of typing or inserting information rather than the finished document.

In administrative and form-related contexts, beírás is used for filling in fields on forms or records. It often contrasts with kitöltés (filling out), where beírás highlights the act of entering specific information, such as a name, address, or identifier, into a designated field.

Beírás is closely related to adatbevitel (data entry) and beviteli adatok (input data); it can also denote an individual entry within a larger record. While related terms exist, beírás typically emphasizes the act of writing or typing information into a medium, rather than the broader process of collecting or storing data.

Etymology traces beírás to be- (prefix indicating completion or inclusion) and írni (to write), reflecting its core sense of inserting written information.
