befizetni

Befizetni is a Hungarian verb meaning to deposit money or to pay in. It describes the act of transferring funds to a bank account, post office, or other financial institution, as well as paying money to fulfill fees, contributions, or installments. The word combines the prefix be- (into) with fizet (to pay), conveying the movement of money into a destination.

Common constructions include befizetni egy összeget (to deposit an amount), befizetni a bankszámlára (to deposit into the bank account), vagy befizetni a postán (to pay in at the post office). The related noun befizetés refers to the act of depositing or paying in, and befizetési igazolás can denote a deposit receipt or proof of payment.

Usage in daily life often involves financial obligations such as paying membership fees, tuition, utility bills, or fines. For example: Minden hónapban befizetem a tagdíjat. A számlámat befizettem a bankommal, és megkaptam a befizetési igazolást.

Befizetni is contrasted with kifizetni (to pay out or settle a debt to someone else) in some contexts, though both revolve around the broader concept of monetary payments. In banking and administrative language, befizetés is a common term for recording a cash deposit or a payment into an account.

See also: fizet (to pay), befizetés (deposit/payment), befizetési határidő (deposit deadline).
