Fotókat

Fotókat is a Hungarian plural form of the noun fotó, meaning still images or photographs. The word fotó appears in the accusative plural as fotókat when photos are the direct object of the sentence, for example: Megnéztem a fotókat. Készítettem fotókat a nyaraláson. The base nominative plural is fotók, used as the subject, while fotókat denotes the object.

Etymology and scope: Fotó is a loanword derived from the international term photo, itself from the Greek roots phos (light) and graphein (to write). In Hungarian, fotó covers both analog and digital photographs. The term is widely used in everyday speech and media, and it can be prefixed by adjectives such as készített, archív, vagy magánjellegű to describe the nature of the images.

Usage and rights: Like other works of authorship, fotók are typically protected by copyright. The rights belong to the photographer or the entity that commissioned the work, unless otherwise stated. When sharing or publishing fotókat, it is common to observe licensing terms, which may include permissions, attribution, and restrictions on redistribution or commercial use. Stock photography platforms often offer fotókat under licenses such as Creative Commons or royalty-free terms.

Formats and handling: In the digital era, fotók are stored as files in formats such as JPEG, PNG, or RAW, and can carry metadata (exposure, camera, location). They are transmitted online, printed, or used in media productions, with attention to quality, resolution, and rights management.
