Találat

Találat is a Hungarian noun with several related meanings. Broadly, it denotes the result of a hit, strike, or finding. It can refer to a physical act—hitting a target or making a successful contact—as well as to a successful outcome in various domains. In everyday language it is used for concrete successes (a hit, a strike) and for more abstract achievements (a breakthrough, a discovery). In the context of sports, a találat often means a goal or point scored by a team or player. In information technology and online search, találat is the term used for an item returned by a query; for example, “több találat jelent meg a keresésre” means several results appeared for the search.

Etymology and form: találat derives from the verb talál (to hit, to meet, to find) with the suffix -at, which forms a noun denoting the result or outcome of the action. The word is declined like a regular Hungarian noun: a találat, a találatot, a találatok, etc.

Usages and nuances: Several senses share a common idea of successful achievement or outcome. In sports, a találat is typically a score—often a goal. In everyday speech it can indicate a successful hit or a discovery, such as a finding during an inspection or examination. In a digital search, találatok are the list of items that match a query.

Examples:

- A csapat megszerezte első találatát a mérkőzésen.
