Töltenie

Töltenie is a Hungarian term that appears in linguistic discussions as a form connected to the verb tölteni, meaning to fill, stuff, or charge. In everyday language the core verb is tölteni, while common noun forms related to the action are töltés (the act of filling or loading) and töltelék (the filling or stuffing material). The specific form töltenie is not widely used as a standalone word in modern standard Hungarian and is more often encountered in scholarly descriptions or dialectal varieties; it is generally not listed as a separate, productive entry in contemporary dictionaries.

In practical usage, töltelék refers to the stuffing or filling used in dishes such as töltött paprika (stuffed peppers) or töltött káposzta (stuffed cabbage). Töltés is used to denote the process of filling or loading in culinary, mechanical, and data-related contexts. For example, a chef may prepare töltelék to stuff various vegetables, while an engineer might speak of a töltés of a container, and a computer user may refer to adat-töltés as loading data.

Etymologically, töltenie derives from the root töl- meaning “to fill,” with the usual Hungarian pathways for nominalization and inflection leading to related terms like töltés and töltelék. The exact form töltenie, when it appears, is typically restricted to discussions of grammar rather than as a common lexical item.
