Tiszteletét

Tiszteletét is the definite direct object form of the Hungarian noun tisztelet, meaning respect or deference. The expression is used primarily in formal or ceremonial language to describe paying respects to a person, a memory, an institution, or a country. In practice, tiszteletet tesz and tiszteletét teszi are common predicates, often paired with other verbs such as fejezni ki (to express) or adni (to render).

In usage, tiszteletét tétel/fejezés alike refer to acts of deference performed in official or ceremonial contexts, such as visits, funerals, memorial ceremonies, or state events. The form tiszteletét indicates a definite direct object, typically when the object of the respect is clearly identified or previously mentioned; in more general, indefinite contexts the bare form tiszteletet is typical with the verb tesz.

Common constructions include:

- tiszteletet tesz (to pay one’s respects)

- tiszteletét teszi/tenni (with definite subject and past or present tense)

- tiszteletét fejezi ki (to express one’s respect)
