Lövések

Lövések is the Hungarian noun for "shots" or "bursts," most commonly used to describe firearm or artillery discharge. The word covers both a single shot (lövés) and multiple shots (lövések). In everyday language, it can refer to the sounds of gunfire, the act of firing, or, in a broader sense, repeated attempts at achieving an aim. The term appears in news reporting, police and military contexts, sports journalism, and general speech.

In safety, security, and conflict reporting, lövések denotes gunfire and is often used with descriptors that indicate intensity, location, or consequences, such as the number of shots heard or whether individuals were affected. Precise language is typically preferred in formal reporting to avoid sensationalism and to respect legal and ethical considerations surrounding violence and victims.

In sports, lövések is used to describe attempts on goal or scoring opportunities, such as shots on target in football (soccer), hockey, or basketball. The term helps convey offensive pressure, efficiency, and the likelihood of scoring, for example when discussing a team's or a player’s ability to create and convert chances.

Etymology and morphology: lövések derives from the verb lő, meaning "to shoot." The base noun is lövés (the act of shooting), with the plural form lövések. The word is distinct from terms used for photographs or recordings, such as felvételek or fotók, which belong to different semantic domains.
