Személyes

Személyes is a Hungarian adjective meaning personal or pertaining to a person. It is formed from the noun szemé ly (person) with the suffix -es, which in Hungarian is used to indicate relation or belonging. The word is commonly used to describe attributes, relationships, or data connected to an individual.

In usage, szemé lyes is placed before the noun it_modifyS, as in szemé l yes adatok (personal data), szemé lyes kapcsolatok (personal relationships), szemé l yes vélemény (personal opinion), or szemé l yes találkozó (in-person or face-to-face meeting). The term frequently appears in everyday language as well as in administrative and legal contexts, especially in phrases such as szemé l yes adatok védelme (the protection of personal data) and a személyes élet védelme (the protection of private life). It is important to distinguish szemé yes from magán, another Hungarian adjective often translated as private; while magán emphasizes privacy or intimate life, szemé lyes tends to highlight information or aspects that relate to a specific individual.

In legal and policy discussions, szemé lyes features prominently in concepts like personal data and data protection, where it denotes information that can identify a person. The term remains widely used across media, education, and everyday speech to describe anything linked to an individual rather than to the public or to objects.
