Testületet

Testületet is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun testület, which denotes a formal body of people who govern, decide, or deliberate on matters within a particular organization or jurisdiction. The term encompasses a range of bodies, such as a municipal council, a university senate, a church assembly, or a corporate board. In official language, testület can refer to the organization as a whole or to its members collectively. It is common in compound terms like képviselő-testület (representative body / municipal council) or döntéshozó testület (governing body).

A testület typically comprises elected or appointed members who, together, exercise defined decision-making powers by law, charter, or by-laws. It usually conducts meetings where resolutions are adopted by a majority vote, led by a chair or president. The responsibilities of a testület can include strategic planning, budgeting, oversight, policy setting, delegating tasks to committees, and supervising subordinate organs.

Grammar note: testület is a Hungarian noun that forms the definite accusative singular as testületet. This form is used when the body is the direct object of a sentence. Other cases include testületnek (dative), testületben (in the body), and testületként (as the body). The word is a neutral, collective noun and is frequently encountered in official and legal contexts, often in compounds such as képviselő-testület or egyetemi testület.
