feladót

Feladó is a Hungarian noun meaning the sender of a letter, parcel, or message. It designates the person or organization that initiates dispatch and is responsible for providing the sender’s details. In postal and courier procedures, the field labeled feladó typically includes the sender’s name and address, while the corresponding field for the recipient is called címzett.

Etymology and forms: Feladó derives from the verb felad, meaning to submit or dispatch. It is a masculine noun, with the basic form feladó in the nominative singular. The accusative singular is feladót (e.g., A feladót felkérték a dokumentumok beadására). Plural forms include feladók (nominative) and feladókat (accusative). In ordinary speech, the term is used across both traditional mail and modern electronic communication.

Usage context: In physical mail and packages, feladó refers to the sender’s identity and return address. In shipping documents, contracts, and returns processing, the phrase feladó fél or a feladó adatai emphasizes the sender’s responsibility for the content, authenticity, and costs associated with sending. In electronic communications, feladó corresponds to the sender or the From field in emails and messaging systems.

Relation to other terms: The counterpart of feladó is címzett, the recipient. While küldő can be used as a synonym for sender in broader contexts (especially in non-postal communication), feladó remains the standard term in postal and formal documentation. The concept also appears in expressions like feladó fél felelőssége (the sender’s liability) and feladás dátuma (date of posting).
