Megkeresése

Megkeresése is a Hungarian noun that denotes the act of contacting, approaching, or requesting information from someone, or the act of someone being sought or approached. The term is used in everyday language as well as in business, journalism, administration, and law to refer to outreach, inquiries, or outreach efforts.

The word is formed from the verb megkeresni (to seek out or contact) with the nominal suffix -és to express the act, and with the possessive suffix -e in the form megkeresése to indicate the subject performing or receiving the outreach (for example, X megkeresése = X’s outreach). The indefinite form megkeresés means the action of seeking or reaching out; megkeresése specifies the owner or agent of the outreach.

Typical contexts include marketing and sales, where megkeresése refers to outreach to potential customers or to inquiries received; recruitment, involving contacting prospective candidates; journalism, involving requests to sources for interviews or statements; and public administration or legal settings, where megkeresése can denote official information requests or inquiries directed to individuals or institutions.

Examples of usage are common in business and media discourse. For instance, a company might focus on megkeresése to expand its customer base, while journalists may make megkeresése to obtain statements from officials. Related terms include megkeresés (the general act or instance of outreach or inquiry) and felkeresés (visiting or personally approaching someone). The concept is widely understood in Hungarian as part of communication and information exchange.
