Manipulációs

Manipulációs is an adjective in Hungarian derived from the noun manipuláció, meaning manipulation, handling, or operation, with the adjectival suffix -s. It describes things related to manipulation or the act of manipulating. The term is common in technical, scientific, and everyday language, with meaning depending on the context.

In psychology and the social sciences, manipulációs often carries a negative connotation when referring to deceptive influence or coercive tactics, as in manipulációs technikák (manipulation techniques) or manipulációs viselkedés (manipulative behavior). In engineering, data processing, or robotics, the word can be neutral, for example manipulációs folyamat (a manipulation process) or manipulációs rendszerek (manipulation systems) describing procedures that move, alter, or handle objects or information.

The term originates from Latin manipulatio, via Hungarian manipuláció, and is formed into an adjective with the suffix -s. Related terms include manipuláló (manipulative), manipulált (manipulated), and manipulálás (manipulation). The exact nuance depends on the context, audience, and register.

In translation and multilingual contexts, manipulációs is typically rendered as manipulative or pertaining to manipulation. It functions as a modifier that specifies the domain of manipulation, such as in manipulációs technika, manipulációs kockázat, or manipulációs adatok, rather than as a standalone concept.
