Látkép

Látkép is a Hungarian noun describing what is visible in a given place at a given moment. Its primary sense is the view or scenery—the natural or built environment that can be seen from a particular location. It can refer to a broad panorama as well as to the impression created by the arrangement of elements within that scene. In a broader sense, látkép can also denote an overall outlook or prospect, such as an economic or cultural trajectory.

Etymology: from látni "to see" and kép "image"; the word is a compound noun formed in standard Hungarian. The spelling is látkép.

In practice, the term is common in travel writing, photography, and art criticism when the visual subject is foregrounded. It is also used in urban planning or tourism to describe characteristic city or landscape views. Related terms include tájkép, which typically refers to a landscape in art or photography, and kilátás, which means a view or vista from a specific place.

Examples of usage include descriptions such as a hill offering a stunning látkép of the city at sunset. In English gloss, the word corresponds to “view,” “landscape,” or “panorama,” depending on context.
