Viszony

Viszony is a Hungarian noun that denotes the connection, relation, or state linking two or more entities, or the conditions under which something exists. Its core sense is relational: how things stand to one another, whether in a factual relationship, a causal link, or a set of circumstances. The term is widely used in everyday language and in specialized registers to name various kinds of relationships and conditions.

In everyday speech viszony covers personal connections as well as broader contexts. It is common in describing social, economic, legal, historical, or spatial relations, for example "gazdasági viszonyok" (economic conditions), "jogi viszonyok" (legal relationships between parties), or "a történelmi viszonyok" (the historical circumstances). In science and humanities it often denotes a relationship or connection between concepts, variables, or actors without prescribing a specific type of relation. In grammar or linguistics, the word may appear in phrases describing how elements relate to each other within a sentence or text, though more specialized terms exist for specific technical notions.

The term is often used in phrases such as "viszonyok között" meaning under certain conditions, or "viszonyítás" referring to a reference framework. Related terms include kapcsolatok (connections or relationships) and társadalmi viszonyok (social relations).
