Megnyitó

Megnyitó is a Hungarian noun and adjective meaning the act or event of opening something, especially the formal beginning of a public or cultural event. As a noun it often denotes an opening ceremony or inauguration; as an attributive adjective it describes the opening part of something, for example megnyitó beszéd (opening speech) or megnyitó ceremónia.

Usage in cultural and public life is common: a kiállítás megnyitója refers to the opening of an exhibition, while a rendezvény megnyitója denotes the opening of an event. Megnyitó beszéd is the introductory speech delivered at such occasions, and megnyitó ceremónia or megnyitó ünnepség describes the ceremonial opening. In computing or general contexts, the term can also appear in phrases about starting or opening a file or program, though more explicit verbs are often used (fájl megnyitása = opening of a file).

Etymology and related forms: megnyitó is formed from the verb nyitni (to open) with the prefix meg- and the suffix -ó, creating a noun or an attributive adjective. Related terms include megnyitás (the act of opening) and nyitás (opening). The distinction between megnyitó and nyitó is subtle: megnyitó often conveys a ceremonial or formal opening, while nyitó can be used more broadly as an attributive meaning “opening” in various contexts.
