Kinyitása

Kinyitása is a Hungarian noun formed from the verb kinyit, meaning the act or result of opening something. It can refer to the physical opening of an object, such as a door, window, or container, as well as to more abstract openings, like the initiation of a process or event. In everyday language it is typically used with a modifying noun, for example az ajtó kinyitása (the opening of the door), a fiók kinyitása (the opening of a drawer), or a fájl kinyitása (opening a file on a computer).

Grammatically, kinyitása is the noun kinyitás with the possessive suffix -a, indicating “its opening” or “the opening of X.” The base noun kinyitás refers to the act itself, while kinyitása often serves as a subject or object in a sentence, as in Az ablak kinyitása gyors volt. The expression is common in both spoken and written Hungarian; in computing and digital contexts, the phrase fájl kinyitása is routinely used.

Etymology and related terms: kinyitása derives from the prefix ki- plus the verb nyit (to open) with the verbal noun suffix -ás. A closely related term is megnyitás, which more often denotes a formal or official opening, such as megnyitás of a conference or a document. Kinyitás emphasizes the physical or practical act of opening, while megnyitás stresses initiation or inauguration in broader contexts.
