esés

Esés is a Hungarian noun derived from the verb esni, meaning to fall. It denotes the act or result of falling and can be used in several related senses: a physical fall (for example, a person tripping and experiencing an esés), a drop or decline in quantity or level (such as the esés of prices or temperatures), or a precipitation-related sense in everyday language.

In a physical context, esés refers to someone or something dropping from a height or losing balance and falling to the ground. It can describe accidental falls, as well as the act of something collapsing or sinking.

In economic and statistical usage, esés expresses a decrease or downward trend. Common collocations include az árak esése (the fall of prices), a kereslet esése (the decline in demand), and a general esés a mutatókban (a drop in the indicators).

In meteorology and everyday speech, esés appears in compounds indicating precipitation events. The most familiar example is hóesés, meaning snowfall. While esés can be used to convey the idea of precipitation, more precise terms such as hóesés (snowfall) or eső (rain) are typically preferred in weather reports. The general sense of esés in weather discussions is a fall of moisture from the sky, not a specific type of precipitation.

Overall, esés is a flexible Hungarian term for a fall or decline, applicable to physical movements, economic indicators, and, with context, precipitation-related phenomena.
