Kivitelek

Kivitelek is a Hungarian plural noun used primarily in economic and statistical language to denote exports—the goods and services shipped to foreign markets. It is the plural form of kivitel, a term that, in trade and national accounts, refers to export activity. The word shares its root with kivitel (export) and is formed by the standard plural ending -ek.

Usage and context: In official statistics, business reports, and government trade data, kivitelek refers to the exported goods or product groups. The singular is kivitel, and the phrase kivitelek értéke means the value of the exports. The phrase kivitelek volumene or a similar construction can refer to the export volume. The term is specialized and most common in formal or technical writing; in everyday language, speakers may simply use kivitel or the English loanword export.

Etymology: The term derives from kivitel, itself related to the concept of bringing out or sending out goods, with -ek marking the plural. In most economic writing, the emphasis is on export activity and its measurement rather than on the literal act of exporting.

Related terms: kivitel (export), import (often used in Hungarian as importok or importing context), export in English-language texts. See also trade statistics, national accounts, and export-oriented policy discussions.

Notes: Kivitelek is not a general-purpose term for casual conversation; its use is primarily found in technical, statistical, and policy documents discussing a country’s exports.
