Igénybe

igénybe is a Hungarian prepositional form used in the phrasal verb igénybe venni, meaning to make use of something or to avail oneself of a service, benefit, or facility. The expression is common in formal and semi-formal language, particularly in public administration, consumer rights, and business contexts. The meaning centers on obtaining a service or resource that is made available by an organization, authority, or system.

Usage and grammar

In usage, igénybe venni is typically followed by the object describing what is being used, often a service, subsidy, or facility. For example: "A szolgáltatást igénybe venni csak előzetes regisztrációval lehetséges." or "Az állami támogatást igénybe vehetik a vállalkozások." The form igénybe itself appears as the particle part of the verb and does not stand alone as a verb. The related verb forms include igénybe veszi (he/she takes advantage of), igénybe vehetjük (we can avail), and igénybevétel (the act or process of using).

Noun form and related terms

The noun igénybevétel denotes the act of utilizing something. It is used in contexts discussing eligibility, terms, and conditions of use, such as subsidies, services, or facilities. Related terms include igénylés (application or request), which is the act of making a request, and használat (use or utilization), a broader synonym.

Etymology and notes

The term stems from igény (demand, need) with the directional particle be and the verb venni (to take). The concept emphasizes obtaining a service or advantage that is provided or offered by someone else. In legal and administrative texts, igénybevétel and igénybevételi conditions are common formulations.
