feltétele

Feltétele is a Hungarian noun meaning condition, prerequisite, or assumption. It denotes a factor or set of factors whose fulfillment is necessary for something to happen, or a premise adopted in reasoning, planning, or decision-making. The term is commonly used in everyday language as well as in formal contexts such as contracts, negotiations, and policy discussions.

In everyday use, feltétele refers to requirements that must be met for an activity to proceed. For example, a program may have age or eligibility feltétele, or a loan may be granted only if certain financial feltétele are satisfied. In contracts and agreements, feltétele are the stipulated terms or conditions that govern the rights and obligations of the parties; failing to meet these feltétele can affect validity, performance, or liability.

In logic, philosophy, and mathematics, feltétele appears as premises or assumptions under which a statement or theorem holds. Phrases like "adott feltételek mellett" (under given conditions) describe the context in which a conclusion follows. This usage emphasizes constraints, domains, or preconditions rather than mere promises or clauses.

Related terms include feltétel (condition, stipulation), kitétel (clause or stipulation within a document), and feltevés (assumption or hypothesis). The choice among them depends on nuance: feltétele often implies practical prerequisites or assumed context, while feltevés signals a hypothetical starting point, and kitétel highlights a contractual clause.

Usage notes: feltételek is the plural form. The concept is central to planning, evaluation, and risk assessment, where identifying and verifying the feltétele is essential for sound conclusions and successful outcomes.
