Csíkok is a Hungarian noun meaning stripes or bands. It refers to long, narrow marks or patterns that run along a surface, often of consistent width and direction. The term is commonly used across various contexts to describe parallel or repetitive markings.

In Hungarian, csík is the singular form, and csíkok is the plural. The related adjective csíkos describes something that has stripes, as in csíkos ruházat or csíkos mintázat. Other related terms include csíkosság (the property of having stripes) and csíkozás (the act of adding stripes or creating a striped pattern).

Usage and contexts. In fashion and design, csíkok are a widespread decorative element, appearing on textiles, wallpaper, and graphics. In clothing, csíkos patterns are often described simply as striped, for example a csíkos ing or csíkos ruha. In biology and zoology, several animals display striped patterns that can be described with csíkok, such as zebras (zebrák csíkos állatok) and other striped species. In art and architecture, csíkok may be used to convey rhythm, movement, or emphasis through linear motifs.

Notes. The term csíkok is primarily descriptive and context-dependent; its precise meaning shifts with the objects or surfaces it describes. The word functions as a standard part of Hungarian vocabulary for pattern description and is widely understood in everyday language. See also csíkos, csík, csíkozás.
