feltételt

Feltétel is the Hungarian noun meaning condition or prerequisite—something that must be met for a result to occur or for an agreement to be valid. Feltételt is the definite accusative singular form of feltétel, used when the noun functions as a direct object in a sentence (for example, in a sentence like A szerződésben meghatározott feltételt teljesíteni kell).

The term is widely used across domains. In everyday language, a feltétel describes any requirement or proviso attached to a situation. In logic and mathematics, it denotes a statement or criterion on which a proposition depends. In computer science, conditions control the flow of programs, as in if statements and conditional branches. In contract and civil law, feltétel refers to a clause that determines when obligations become effective or cease, and to the broader idea of conditional obligations.

Common related terms include előfeltétel (precondition) and utófeltétel (subsequent condition), highlighting different temporal or logical positions of a condition within a process or agreement. In grammar, feltétel appears in phrases such as feltételes mód, the conditional mood of verbs, and feltétel nélküli, meaning unconditional.

Etymology: feltétel is a compound of fel- (a prefix meaning up, on, or upon) and tétel (item, proposition). The word has deepening specialized uses in logic, law, and grammar while retaining a general sense of an essential requirement.
