Dobás

Dobás is a Hungarian noun meaning the act of throwing or tossing an object. It is derived from the verb dobni, which means to throw, and is used across everyday language and various sports to describe the action or result of throwing.

In sport, dobás denotes a throw, shot, or pass depending on the context. In basketball and handball it commonly refers to the action of throwing the ball toward a goal or basket. In football (soccer) the term bedobás is used for a throw-in, the ball being thrown back into play from the sideline. In some sports, phrases such as büntető dobás (free throw) describe a specific, sanctioned throw from a designated spot.

Dobás can describe both the technique and the outcome of the action. A player may execute a long-range dobás, a short, precise throw, or a quick pass, with the adjective or noun indicating the nature of the throw. In everyday language, the word is used simply to refer to any act of throwing, such as a child’s dobás of a ball or the throw of an object during a game.

Grammatical notes: the word is a feminine noun; the plural form is dobások. The verb form is dobni, with related forms like dobott (threw) and dobás (throw/throwing) used in different tenses or constructions.
