Részesülés

Részesülés is a Hungarian noun referring to the act or state of receiving a portion, benefit, or entitlement from a distribution. It describes the situation of a person or entity that obtains a share of profits, assets, rights, or other benefits. The term emphasizes the recipient’s right to participate in or obtain a portion rather than mere ownership.

Etymology and nuance: Részesülés is derived from the verb részesülni (to receive a portion, to benefit) and the noun-forming suffix -és. It conveys the idea of benefiting from a distribution or allocation, i.e., obtaining a part of something that is shared or divided.

Contexts and usage: The concept is common in legal, financial, and administrative language. In business, részesülés can refer to a person’s entitlement to a portion of profits, dividends, or liquidation proceeds. In inheritance matters, heirs have a részesülés from the estate. In insurance or pension contexts, beneficiaries may have a részesülés from a policy or plan. The term is typically used in formal or technical writing rather than everyday speech.

Relation to related terms: Részesedés denotes an actual ownership stake or share in a company, property, or fund. Részesülés, by contrast, focuses on the act of receiving or benefiting from a distribution. Both concepts are interconnected in civil and corporate law, but they describe different aspects of participation: one as ownership, the other as entitlement to a portion.
