Nyílt

Nyílt is a Hungarian adjective meaning open or not closed. It is used to describe physical openness, such as a gate that is nyílt, or a space that is readily accessible. In a broader sense, it can denote transparency, unrestricted access, or lack of restriction, as in open data (nyílt adatok), open-source software (nyílt forráskódú szoftver), or open government.

In everyday language, nyílt is common in phrases that contrast openness with closure or restriction. Examples include nyílt ülés (an open session), nyílt információ (open information), and nyílt beszéd (frank or candid speech). The term is also used in social and political discourse to describe an open society or transparent processes, such as nyílt társadalom.

In technical and policy contexts, nyílt is often part of established compound terms. Nyílt forráskódú szoftver emphasizes publicly accessible source code, while nyílt adat vagy nyílt adatszolgáltatás highlights permissive access and reuse. The word can also appear in cultural or educational contexts to signal inclusivity and openness to participation.

Nuances and related forms: nyílt tends to describe a state of openness or accessibility at a given time, whereas nyitott is frequently used to convey an ongoing readiness or willingness to engage, or to describe things that have been opened. Both terms appear in lists of Hungarian synonyms for openness and transparency.
