Dicsérése

Dicsérése is a Hungarian noun that denotes the act or process of praising or extolling someone or something. It refers to the act of giving praise and is used in formal, literary, or religious language as a nominalized form derived from the verb dicsér (to praise).

Etymology and form: The word is formed from the verb stem dicsér combined with the nominalizing suffix -ése. As a result, dicsérése can function as the subject or object of a sentence. It is closely related to dicséret, which more often means praise or a commendation, while dicsérése emphasizes the act itself.

Usage: In Hungarian, dicsérése is commonly found in discussions of rhetoric, ceremony, religious discourse, or literary analysis. It can describe the act of praising a person, an idea, or a divine being, and is suitable for describing both intentional praise and general attestation of merit in formal writing.

Examples:

- A prédikáció Isten dicsérése volt. (The sermon was a praise of God.)

- A konferencia során szó esett a köztársaság vezetőinek dicséréseiről, de a hallgatóság kritikát is megfogalmazott. (During the conference, mentions of praising the leaders were made, and the audience also offered criticism.)
