Vesztesége

Vesztesége is a Hungarian noun formed from veszteség, meaning loss. It is used to denote a loss or damage in various contexts, including finance and accounting (net loss, operating loss), law (damages), and everyday language to describe a decrease or disadvantage. The term can refer to the loss experienced by a person, a company, a project, or any other entity.

Grammatically, vesztesége is the singular possessive form of veszteség. It is used to express “the loss of” or “the loss belonging to” a possessor, for example a company’s loss: a vállalat vesztesége. The base noun veszteség declines in other cases and numbers as appropriate (veszteségek, veszteségem, veszteséged, etc.), and the possessive form can be combined with different possessors and determiners to fit the sentence.

In economic and financial writing, the standard phrases include nettó veszteség (net loss) or működési veszteség (operating loss). The term is also used in broader contexts to indicate damage or disadvantage resulting from a failure, accident, or conflict, with plural form veszteségek used for multiple losses or casualties.

See also: veszteség (loss in general), veszteségek (losses), haszon (gain, profit). The word is neutral in tone and common in Hungarian prose, technical reports, and news reporting when discussing financial performance, damages, or outcomes that fall short of expectations.
