felajánlás

Felajánlás is a Hungarian noun meaning offering, dedication, or donation made to a person, institution, or cause. It can refer to a concrete gift (money, goods, or services) or to the act of dedicating something for a purpose. In religious contexts the term often denotes presenting offerings to God or the saints, while in secular use it denotes charitable donations or gifts to churches, foundations, or other causes.

The word derives from the verb felajánlani (to offer), formed from ajánlani (to offer) with the prefix fel-. The noun felajánlás therefore describes the act or result of offering someone something or dedicating it to a purpose.

Contexts and examples: In Catholic and other Christian liturgies, felajánlás refers to the offertory, the moment when bread and wine are brought to the altar and the gifts of the faithful are presented. It is often accompanied by prayers and intentions offered by the faithful. Secular use: a felajánlás can mean a monetary contribution to a church or charity, or the act of dedicating a personal intention to God through prayer. The term appears in phrases such as felajánlott adomány (offered donation) or felajánl egy szándékot (to offer a prayer intention).
