felvétele

Felvétele is a Hungarian noun that denotes a recording or capture of sound or image. It can refer to a wide range of recorded material, including audio recordings (hangfelvétel), video recordings (videófelvétel), or still images produced by cameras. In medical contexts, the term appears within compounds such as röntgenfelvétel (X‑ray image) or ultrahangfelvétel (ultrasound image), where it names the resulting image or study.

In education and administration, felvétel also denotes admission or enrollment to an institution or program; for example, felvétel a főiskolára means admission to college. The plural form felvételek is used when speaking about multiple recordings or images, while many common terms are formed by combining felvétel with another noun, such as videófelvétel or hangfelvétel.

Etymology: the word originates from the verb felvenni with the prefix fel-, indicating taking up or capturing, and the suffix that turns the concept into a noun describing the act or result of capturing. The term is widely used across media, medicine, science, and education, and appears in numerous compound formations.
