felemelés

Felemelés is a Hungarian noun denoting the act or process of lifting or raising something from a lower to a higher position. It is formed from the verb felemelni (to lift, to raise) with the nominal suffix -és. The term is used in both literal and figurative senses.

In physical contexts felemelés refers to the action of lifting objects or people, often with the aid of hands, arms, or lifting devices such as cranes, hoists, or platforms. It is also used for the operation of equipment that elevates loads or platforms.

Figuratively, felemelés can describe the raising or elevating of standards, ambitions, living conditions, or their levels. It may appear in discussions about productivity, social mobility, or organizational development, where the emphasis is on deliberate improvement.

Difference from emelés: emelés is a broader term meaning simply "lift" or "rise" and is commonly used for price increases (áremelés) and general upward movement. Felemelés emphasizes the act or process of bringing something to a higher position and can carry a nuance of intentional elevation.

Translations and related terms include emelés, felemelő (adjective form meaning elevating), and emelő (lifting device or person who lifts). See also áremelés for price increases in financial contexts.
