esküvre

Esküvre is a term that can refer to several related concepts, primarily within Hungarian culture and language. The most common meaning of esküvre relates to a wedding or betrothal ceremony. It is the Hungarian word for "to the oath" or "for the oath," specifically in the context of marriage vows. Therefore, esküvre often signifies the event of getting married or the commitment made during a wedding ceremony.

The term can also extend to the act of pledging oneself to something or someone, a solemn promise or commitment that is not necessarily romantic. In this broader sense, esküvre implies a serious vow or a pledge, akin to an oath. The root of the word, "eskü," means oath or vow.

In a more colloquial or informal usage, esküvre might refer to a bridal shower or a pre-wedding celebration where gifts are exchanged and well wishes are given to the bride-to-be. However, this usage is less formal and can vary regionally. The primary and most widely understood meaning remains tied to the wedding vows and the act of marriage itself.
