Kiállását

Kiállását is a form of the Hungarian noun kiállás, meaning a stance, position, or attitude on an issue. It refers to the particular point of view that a person or group publicly adopts, defends, or maintains in a discussion, negotiation, or public life. The concept can also denote the act of standing one’s ground or persisting with a position over time.

Etymology and form: kiállás is derived from the verb kiállni, “to stand,” “to stand up for,” or “to endure.” Kiállását is the inflected form used in sentences where the stance is treated as a definite object or reference, for example after verbs that express expressing, maintaining, or defending one’s position. In different syntactic contexts, other forms of kiállás may appear (such as kiállás, kiállást, kiállásának), but kiállását specifically marks a definite object with the sense of “one’s stance/attitude.”

Usage: The term is common in political, social, and public discourse. It can be paired with verbs like kifejezte (expressed), megvédte (defended), vagy támogatta (supported) to describe how a stance is articulated or upheld. For instance, a journalist might report that a politician kifejezte kiállását a reformokról, meaning they stated their stance on the reforms.

Related terms: kiállás (the general concept of a stance or stand), kiállítani (to exhibit or to set up), kiállítás (exhibition). While kiállítás is etymologically related, it belongs to a different meaning and is not a direct synonym of kiállás.
