Csokoládés

Csokoládés is a Hungarian adjective meaning chocolate-flavored or containing chocolate. It describes foods and beverages that include chocolate as an ingredient, as well as products that have a chocolate-like flavor, and it can also refer to a color resembling chocolate brown. The form is derived from the noun csokoládé (chocolate) with the adjectival suffix -s/-és, which marks a characteristic or quality in Hungarian. The noun csokoládé itself is a loanword, generally traced to Western European sources such as German Schokolade or French chocolat, and was adopted into Hungarian during the modern period.

In usage, csokoládés is common in recipe terminology and product labeling. Examples include csokoládés torta (chocolate cake), csokoládés sütemény (chocolate pastry), and csokoládés krém (chocolate cream). In everyday speech, speakers also use the colloquial form csokis to mean the same idea, as in csokis keksz (chocolate cookie) or csokis csiga (chocolate snail pastry). The word can also describe color, with csokoládés szín referring to a chocolate-brown shade.

Csokoládés sits within standard Hungarian adjective formation and is widely understood across contexts, from culinary writing to packaging and marketing. While csokoládés is formal and widely preferred in written Hungarian, less formal speech often favors shorter forms such as csokis. The term remains a basic, neutral descriptor for anything related to chocolate in Hungarian.
