egyórás

The term "egyórás" is a Hungarian word that literally translates to "one-hour." It is most commonly used to describe a duration of time, specifically one hour. For example, one might say "Az ebéd egyórás volt" which means "The lunch was one hour long."

Beyond its literal meaning, "egyórás" can also be used metaphorically. In a figurative sense, it can imply something that is brief or fleeting, or perhaps something that was intended to be longer but was cut short. For instance, a conversation might be described as "egyórás" if it felt insufficient or too short to cover all the necessary points, even if it lasted exactly 60 minutes.

The word itself is formed by combining "egy" (one) and "órás" (related to an hour, or having hours). This structure is common in Hungarian for creating adjectives or nouns that denote a specific quantity or duration related to time.

In practical contexts, "egyórás" is often used in scheduling, appointments, or descriptions of events. A meeting might be scheduled for "egyórás" duration, or a lesson could be "egyórás." The simplicity of the term makes it a straightforward and unambiguous way to communicate a one-hour timeframe in Hungarian.
