Vállalása

Vállalása is a Hungarian noun derived from the verb vállalni, meaning the act of undertaking something or taking on a responsibility. It denotes an explicit commitment, promise, or obligation that a person, group, or organization assumes.

Etymology and form: The base verb means to undertake, to shoulder, or to bear. The related noun válla­lás refers to the act itself, and vállalása can function as a possessive or context-dependent form meaning “the undertaking of someone” or simply “the undertaking.” It appears in phrases such as az ő vállalása, meaning his or her undertaking.

Usage: In everyday language, vállalása describes a commitment to perform tasks, meet responsibilities, or assume risks. In legal or business contexts, it can refer to contractual obligations or commitments that parties undertake. In political or civic discourse, it may denote a pledge to pursue certain goals. The term is distinct from vállalkozás, which refers to a business enterprise or venture; vállalás emphasizes the act of committing or taking on responsibility, while vállalkozás centers on the venture itself.

Related terms: kötelezettség (obligation), felelősség (responsibility), ígéret (promise), elhatározás (resolution). These words inhabit overlapping semantic fields but highlight different aspects of commitment, obligation, or intent.

Examples: A vállalása a környezetvédelmi célok betartása a vállalat számára fontos. (The company’s undertaking to comply with environmental goals is important.) Ő vállalása, hogy segít a projektben, és ezt ígéretként is vállalta. (He undertakes to help with the project and has committed to it as a promise.)
