Elutasítás

Elutasítás is a Hungarian term meaning the act or result of refusing, denying, or turning down something offered, requested, or proposed. The noun is formed from the verb elutasít, which means to reject or refuse. The concept is used across everyday language and formal contexts to describe a decision that denies a request, proposal, or claim.

In administrative and legal contexts, elutasítás denotes a formal denial by an authority or decision-maker. Examples include the rejection of an application for a permit, a grant, or a claim, often accompanied by a justification and information about further remedies, such as appeal or reconsideration procedures.

In academic, financial, and policy settings, elutasítás can refer to the rejection of proposals, budgets, or project plans. Decisions of this kind typically follow defined criteria and may also be subject to review or revision processes.

In statistics and research, elutasítás describes the decision to reject a hypothesis, usually the null hypothesis, after a test indicates results are statistically significant at a given level. The term is used in reporting to indicate that the observed data are inconsistent with the assumed hypothesis.

In social contexts, elutasítás may involve the rejection of an invitation, offer, or interpersonal advance. The term is generally neutral, though it can carry emotional weight for the recipient. Related terms include visszautasítás (refusal) and tagadás (denial).
