Kinézet

Kinézet is a Hungarian noun meaning appearance or look, referring to the outward aspect of something as perceived visually. The term covers the visible form of a person, the exterior of objects or places, and the visual styling of products, brands, media, or digital interfaces. In everyday language, kinézet describes how something presents itself, from a person’s appearance to the look of a room or a website.

In addition to physical appearance, kinézet is used to talk about visual design and presentation. In design and marketing contexts, it is closely related to arculat (brand identity) and megjelenés (display or presentation), while külső is often used to denote the exterior or outside aspect of a thing. The word can also appear in discussions of user interfaces, where kinézet denotes the overall visual theme, including color schemes, typography, and layout.

Etymology: kinézet derives from the verb néz (to look) with the prefix ki- indicating outward direction, resulting in a noun that expresses the outward look or impression created by appearance.

Usage notes: kinézet can be described with adjectives like jó (good), esztétikus (aesthetic), friss (fresh), modern, or ápolt (well-groomed). The possessive form, kinézete, denotes someone’s or something’s appearance. In technology contexts, kinézet refers to the visual presentation or theme of a product or interface.
