Oklevelét

Oklevelét is the definite accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun oklevél, meaning a certificate, diploma, or charter. The base word oklevél refers to an official document that certifies a fact, grants a right, or verifies a qualification, such as a university diploma, a government charter, or a professional certificate. The form oklevelét is used when the diploma or certificate is the definite direct object of a sentence, often with a third-person possessor.

In everyday usage, oklevelét appears in sentences like: “A végzős megkapta az oklevelét” (The graduate received his/her diploma) or “Megőrizte az oklevelét” (He/She kept his/her diploma). The term can also be encountered in formal or administrative contexts, for example in discussions of issuing, validating, or transferring diplomas and other credentials.

Etymology and related terms: oklevél is a native Hungarian compound, commonly interpreted as a proof-letter or certificate. Related terms include tanúsítvány (certificate of certification) and diploma, which in Hungarian can be used in overlapping but distinct contexts of credentialing and qualification.

See also: oklevél, diploma, tanúsítvány, irat.

Note: The word oklevelét carries a sense of a concrete, identifiable document referenced as a credential, rather than a general notion of achievement. The exact grammatical form changes with person, number, and definiteness in Hungarian sentence structure.
