Tartalom

Tartalom is the Hungarian noun for content or contents. It is used to refer to the material contained within a work, such as a book, document, media product, or website. In publishing, tartalom denotes the substantive material of a work, as opposed to its form or presentation. The word is used broadly across media, education, and information technology to describe what a work comprises, including text, images, audio, and video.

Etymology: The term comes from the Hungarian root tart- meaning to hold or contain, combined with a nominalizing suffix to form an abstract noun.

Usage: In everyday language, one might say "Ez a könyv tartalma érdekes" (the content of this book is interesting) or "A weboldal tartalma nem megfelelő" (the website’s content is not appropriate). The compound "tartalomjegyzék" means table of contents; "tartalomkezelő rendszer" means content management system. The word is also used in discussions of media quality, information architecture, and digital publishing to refer to the overall substance presented to an audience.
