Számlám

"Számlám" is a Hungarian word that translates to "my bill" or "my invoice" in English. It is a common term used in everyday life in Hungary when referring to financial documents that detail goods or services provided and the amount owed.

When an individual or business receives a számlám, it serves as a formal record of a transaction. This document typically includes essential information such as the names and addresses of the buyer and seller, a description of the items or services, the quantity, the unit price, the total price, and any applicable taxes, often indicated as ÁFA (Általános Forgalmi Adó), which is Value Added Tax. The date of issue and a unique identification number are also standard features of a számlám.

Consumers will encounter számláks for a wide range of purchases, from groceries and utilities to larger items and services. Businesses use számláks for invoicing their clients and for accounting purposes. The term emphasizes personal ownership or relation to the bill, as indicated by the possessive suffix "-m" (my). Therefore, "számlám" signifies a bill or invoice that is directly relevant to the speaker or writer. It is a fundamental document in commercial and personal financial dealings within Hungary.
