bankolás

Bankolás is a Hungarian noun derived from the verb bankolni, meaning to bank. It has distinct senses depending on the context, primarily in finance and aviation, and is used in both professional and everyday language.

In finance, bankolás refers to activities related to banking and the management of money through a financial institution. This includes handling deposits, transfers, payments, loans, and general account administration. The term can describe both routine consumer banking and more formal banking operations, and it is commonly found in discussions about digital or online banking, financial workflows, and customer service processes.

In aviation, bankolás denotes the act of banking the aircraft—tilting it around its longitudinal axis to initiate or maintain a turn. Pilots perform bankolás to change direction, with the bank angle and coordination with ailerons and rudder governed by flight conditions, speed, and control inputs. This sense is a standard term in pilot communication and flight training.

Metaphorically, the word can appear in other technical or informal contexts to imply leaning toward a particular option or approach, though such uses are less common and highly context-dependent.

Origin and usage notes: the term is a direct adaptation from the English bank in both senses, integrated into Hungarian vocabulary. Bankolás is widely understood in Hungary, though its precise meaning is usually clear from the surrounding context.
