Hozzászólás

Hozzászólás is a noun in Hungarian referring to a reply, comment, or contribution to a post in a discussion, forum, article, or social media. It denotes a response that adds information, an opinion, or a question.

In online platforms, hozzászólás appears in comment sections, discussion threads, or chat-like forums. It can address the author of the original post, other participants, or the topic. It may include references to previous messages, opinions, requests for clarification, or critique. Hungarian usage also uses the term "komment" as a loanword; both terms are understood, but "hozzászólás" is the standard formal term.

Moderation and policy: Most platforms allow users to post, edit, delete or report hozzászólások. Communities typically enforce rules against insults, hate speech, personal data exposure, or irrelevant posts. Reactions such as likes or upvotes may accompany a hozzászólás on some sites, and threading or replying features help structure discussion.

Etymology and nuance: The word is formed from the verb "hozzászól" (to contribute a remark, to address in discussion) with the nominal suffix "-ás." It emphasizes the act of contributing to a conversation. In Hungarian discourse, hozzászólás is used broadly from casual comments to formal feedback.
