fogadást

Fogadást is a Hungarian term that translates to "reception" or "welcome" in English. It refers to the act of receiving guests or visitors, typically in a formal or semi-formal setting. This can encompass a wide range of events, from official state welcomes to private parties.

In a broader sense, fogadást can also denote the initial reception of an idea or information, meaning how it is received or accepted. This usage highlights the concept of welcoming something new or unfamiliar.

The act of fogadást often involves specific customs and protocols depending on the context. For instance, a state fogadást might include diplomatic ceremonies and official greetings, while a family fogadást for a wedding might involve a celebratory meal and toasts. The underlying principle is to extend hospitality and make guests feel welcome and comfortable. The term emphasizes the active process of receiving and acknowledging someone or something.
