Segélykér

Segélykér is a Hungarian noun formed from segély (aid) and kér (to ask). It denotes an appeal for aid or relief, made by an individual, a community, or an organization. The term can refer to both the act of requesting help and the requester, although in standard usage segélykérés is more common for a formal request and segélykérő for the person making it.

In practice, segélykérések are used in humanitarian and disaster-relief contexts to mobilize resources from donors and authorities. Government agencies, international organizations, and non-governmental organizations may issue segélykérő felhívások or segélykérések to announce needs and solicit assistance. The phrase can also appear in media and public communications describing appeals for aid following emergencies, economic hardship, or humanitarian crises.

Etymologically, the word combines segély with the verb kérni (to ask) and follows common Hungarian patterns for forming nouns that denote requests or agents related to asking. Related terms include segély, segélyezés (relief provision), and segélykiáltás (cry for help).
