Szereplk

Szereplk is a non-diacritic rendering of the Hungarian noun szereplők, which translates to “characters” or “cast” in fiction and performance. In standard Hungarian, szereplő refers to a person who appears in a story or on stage, and szereplők denotes the group of such participants—the characters or cast of a work. The term is used across literature, theatre, film, and television to discuss the people who act, speak, and influence a narrative.

Etymology and form: the word derives from szerep, meaning “role,” with the agentive suffix -lő, yielding a sense of one who performs a role. The standard orthography uses diacritics (szereplő, szereplők); Szereplk represents a simplified, diacritic-free variant commonly found in plain-text contexts, databases, or informal writing.

Usage and meaning in media: in descriptions and analyses, characters are categorized by importance and function, such as főszereplő (lead character) and mellékszereplő (supporting character). Characters are assessed by traits, motivations, development arcs, and relationships, which drive plot and themes. The concept of a character can be static or dynamic, and its portrayal often reflects cultural norms and narrative traditions.

Notes on orthography: Szereplk appears primarily where diacritics are omitted, such as in URLs, programming identifiers, or plain-text indexing. In standard Hungarian writing, szereplők is used. See also: szereplő (singular), főszereplő, mellékszereplő, magyar nyelv (Hungarian language).
