délkoreai

Dél-koreai is a Hungarian term meaning "South Korean." It functions as both an adjective and a demonym describing people, culture, language or things related to South Korea. In standard Hungarian, the common spelling is dél-koreai, with a hyphen between dél and Korea; the form délkoreai (without the hyphen) may appear in some texts, but hyphenation is generally preferred.

For a person from South Korea, the singular is dél-koreai and the plural is dél-koreaiak. The term is widely used across domains such as politics, economy, arts and media. Examples include dél-koreai kultúra (South Korean culture), dél-koreai filmek (South Korean films) or dél-koreai gazdaság (South Korean economy). When referring to the language as used in South Korea, Hungarian typically uses koreai nyelv or occasionally dél-koreai nyelv to specify the regional variety.

South Korea’s official Hungarian name is Dél-Koreai Köztársaság, and the country is commonly referred to simply as Dél-Korea in Hungarian. The antonym for the northern neighbor is Észak-Korea (Észak-koreai). The term dél-koreai is often encountered in discussions of Korean studies, East Asian affairs, and in cultural or linguistic contexts.
