Töltése

Töltése is a Hungarian noun derived from the verb tölteni, meaning to fill, to load, or to charge. The word refers to the act or process of filling or charging, and it can be combined with other words to specify what is being filled or charged. In practice, töltése is used across contexts where something is being filled, replenished, or charged.

Common senses include charging a battery or device (akkumulátor töltése, a telefon töltése), refilling a container with a liquid or material (tartály töltése), and loading or charging a firearm or equipment (fegyver töltése, teher töltése). The exact meaning is determined by context and the accompanying nouns.

Etymology and related terms: töltése comes from the verb tölteni and the nominalization töltés, with the possessive suffix -e in some constructions to indicate “the filling/charging of something.” Related terms include töltés (the act of filling or charging) and töltő, meaning a charger or filling device. The word is especially common in technical, logistical, and everyday language describing processes of replenishment or power restoration.

Usage notes: In everyday Hungarian, töltése is frequently heard in discussions of devices and energy, as in “Az akkumulátor töltése szükséges.” For computing or software contexts, a different term such as betöltés or be-/feltöltés is typically preferred to signify loading data or programs. Töltés and töltése retain broad applicability to physical processes of filling, charging, or loading goods and equipment.
