Szerepek

Szerepek is the Hungarian plural noun meaning roles or parts, with the singular form szerep. The term is used across domains to describe the duties, identities, or characters assigned to people or entities in various contexts.

In the performing arts, szerepek are the characters portrayed by actors in plays, films, or television. Each szerep involves specific dialogue, actions, and backstory, and actors may be expected to master multiple roles within a production or over a career.

In sociology and everyday language, a szerep refers to a social position with associated expectations and norms. Szerepek in the plural cover the different positions a person occupies, such as family roles (parent, sibling), professional roles (teacher, engineer), and civic roles (voter, volunteer). Role theory examines how people adopt, perform, and adapt these duties within social structures and groups.

In narrative theory and linguistics, szerep can denote the function or position of a participant in a story or sentence (for example agent, experiencer, or patient). This usage helps analyze how actions are distributed among characters and how plots or clauses are organized.

The term Szerepek is common in Hungarian-language discussions of culture, education, and media, and its precise meaning depends on context. It serves as a general label for the various identities and duties that individuals assume in different spheres of life.
