adósa

Adása is a form found in Hungarian that can denote either the act of giving or a broadcast, depending on context. The base noun adás has two primary senses: the act of giving or donating, and the broadcast or transmission of a program. The form adása is the possessive form of adás, meaning “his/her/its giving” or “his/her/its broadcast.” In everyday language, the intended sense is usually clear from surrounding words.

Etymology and morphology: Both senses derive from the verb adni, meaning “to give,” and the -ás suffix, which nominalizes verbs. The separate sense of adás as “broadcast” is historically linked to the idea of delivering or transmitting content. The possessive -a attaches to form adása, which functions as a noun phrase referring to a specific person’s or entity’s giving or broadcast.

Usage and nuance: In charitable or transactional contexts, adása commonly refers to a donation or act of giving. In media contexts, adása refers to a broadcast or transmission of a program by a broadcaster. Because adása can be interpreted as either giving or broadcasting, the surrounding sentence typically resolves the intended meaning.
