Részes

Részes is a Hungarian adjective and participial form that denotes having a share in something or participating in it. It is used to describe persons, entities, or situations that are entitled to a part of a given matter, benefit, or asset.

Etymology and related forms

The word derives from the noun rész (part, portion) with the standard Hungarian suffix -es, which forms adjectives indicating possession or association. Related terms include részesedés, meaning a share or stake, and részesül, the verb meaning to benefit from or to receive a portion of something.

Usage

In contemporary Hungarian, részes appears mainly in compound nouns and verb phrases. Részesedés is widely used in business and law to describe ownership stake or entitlement in a company or project. The verb részesül governs beneficiaries or recipients of advantages, profits, or other results, as in phrases like “részesült a nyereségből” (he/she benefited from the profit). The term can also appear in broader contexts to indicate participation or inclusion in a group, process, or decision.

Notes

Részes is a generic, formal term and is most common in written language, especially in financial, legal, or administrative contexts. It should not be confused with related but distinct terms such as rész (part) and résztvevő (participant). The concept behind részes links to the broader idea of having a share or taking part in something.
