alaplépései

Alaplépései is a Hungarian term that denotes the basic or foundational steps of a process, activity, or discipline. The word is formed from alap- (base, fundamental) and lépés (step), with the plural possessive suffix -ei, so the phrase can refer to “its basic steps” or to a general set of essential steps in a given context.

Etymology and usage notes

The concept is linguistic rather than tied to a single field. In everyday Hungarian, alaplépései appears in instructional or explanatory writing to emphasize the minimal sequence of actions needed to begin a task. The exact content of the alaplépései varies by domain, but the common thread is that they are repeatable, foundational actions that must be understood before advancing to more complex stages.

Contexts

In dance, alaplépései refer to the fundamental footwork that forms the building blocks of routines. In education and training, they describe the essential initial actions or procedures beginners learn to perform correctly. In process design or project management, the term can be used metaphorically to outline the first indispensable steps that set the workflow in motion, often captured in checklists or standard operating procedures.

Example usage

Instructor: “A sikerhez fontos az alaplépései megtanulása, utána jöhet a bonyolultabb koreográfia.” Here the phrase signals the necessity of mastering the core steps before progressing.
