felhelyezni

Felhelyezni is a Hungarian verb meaning to place or attach something onto a surface or onto another object, often as part of mounting, installing, or applying. It is formed from the prefix fel- (onto, up) and the root helyezni (to place). The action is transitive: a direct object (the thing being placed) is linked to a destination, typically expressed with a prepositional phrase such as a felületre or a termékre. The word is used in a wide range of contexts, from everyday tasks to technical settings, for example attaching a label, applying a protective film, or mounting a component.

Examples include: A matricát fel kell helyezni a csomagolásra. A fóliát fel kell helyezni a telefon kijelzőjére. A logót felhelyezik az autó oldalára. A címkét felhelyezték a termékre. The action is usually completed, and the verb is perfective; common participles include felhelyezett and the noun felhelyezés (installation or placement).

In contrast, elhelyezni means to place somewhere in a more general sense, not necessarily attaching to a surface or integrating into an assembly. Felhelyezni therefore often implies securing to a surface or incorporating into a setup, whereas elhelyezni emphasizes location or arrangement without necessarily fixing it in place. Related terms include felragasztani (to affix by sticking) and elhelyezés (placement, positioning).
