The related nouns megnyitás and megnyitó are widely used: megnyitás refers to the act or process of opening, for example az oldal megnyitása (the opening of the page). Megnyitó functions as an adjective or noun meaning "opening" as in megnyitó ünnepség (opening ceremony) or megnyitó beszéd (opening speech).

In computing, megnyit translates the action "to open" a file or resource. In user interfaces, the label for the button that opens a document is often megnyitás or megnyitó depending on context; the verb form megnyitni is used in command lines or documentation.
