Kitöltése

Kitöltése is a Hungarian noun derived from the verb kitölteni, meaning to fill out or to fill in. It denotes either the act of filling out a form or the content that fills a space. The base noun is kitöltés; kitöltése is used when referring to the act or completion of something, often with a specific antecedent.

In usage, phrases such as a nyomtatvány kitöltése kötelező or a kérdőív kitöltése szükséges are common, meaning “the filling out of the form is mandatory” and “the filling of the questionnaire is required,” respectively. The term can also refer to the filling of a space or volume, though in many technical or specific contexts a more precise expression is preferred.

In dentistry, the standard term for a tooth filling is tömés; kitöltése is not typical in medical or dental contexts.

Etymology: the prefix ki- added to tölteni forms the verb kitölteni; the noun kitöltés denotes the act or result of filling, and kitöltése marks a form of that noun, often used as the subject or object in a sentence.
