elérhetsége

Elérhetőség is a Hungarian term that encompasses the idea of being reachable or available, and is used in several related but distinct contexts. In everyday language it most often refers to how one can be contacted—i.e., a person’s or an organization’s contact details. In technical, administrative, or service-oriented contexts, elérhetőség describes the reachability or availability of a system, service, or resource, meaning how easily users can access it.

Linguistically, elérhetőség derives from elérhető (reachable, accessible) with the noun-forming suffix -ség, and elérhetősége is the possessive form meaning “his/her/its contact details” or more generally “his/her/its reachability.” Plural forms include elérhetőségek for multiple contact details or instances of reachability.

Common usages include:

- Personal contact information: asking for or providing elérhetősége, such as email or phone number.

- Organizational contact details: lists of elérhetőségek for departments, customer service, or offices, often including hours of operation.

- Digital service availability: statements about the elérhetősége of a website or application, sometimes expressed as uptime or accessibility.

In practice, elérhetőség can overlap with but is not always identical to hozzáférhetőség (accessibility). While elérhetőség emphasizes reachability and contactability, hozzáférhetőség tends to focus more on the ability to obtain information or use a resource, especially for people with limited access.
