Köhögési

Köhögési is a Hungarian adjective formed from the noun köhögés (cough) with the suffix -i, and it means relating to coughing or pertaining to coughing. It is used to describe phenomena, symptoms, or processes connected with coughs and is common in medical language as well as ordinary speech.

In practice, köhögési is most often found in compound phrases such as köhögési inger (the urge to cough), köhögési reflex (the coughing reflex), köhögési epizód (a coughing episode), köhögési folyamat (the process of coughing), or köhögési jellegű tünetek (cough-like symptoms). The term can denote qualitative or descriptive aspects, for example köhögési jelleg (the character or quality of the cough) or köhögési szakasz (a phase of coughing).

Linguistically, köhögési is an adjective derived from köhögés, created by the suffix -i to form a modifier. It agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case, as is typical in Hungarian grammar, and it does not stand alone as a noun.

Usage notes: köhögési appears predominantly in contexts where a more precise, medically oriented description of coughing is needed. It is often found in clinical descriptions, patient information, and academic texts discussing respiratory symptoms or treatment effects. For general information about the underlying symptom, the base noun köhögés is usually sufficient.
