folyosón

Folyosó is the Hungarian word for a corridor or hallway inside a building. Folyosón is the locative case form of folyosó, used to indicate location or movement within the corridor, as in sentences describing where something is or happens, for example: “A tanterem a folyosón van.”

A folyosó serves as the primary circulation space in many buildings, connecting rooms, stairs, elevators, and other areas. Its layout is typically long and narrow, with doors opening to individual rooms along its sides. Design varies by building type, climate, and safety regulations. Lighting may be natural, provided by windows or skylights, or artificial, through ceiling fixtures. The width of a residential corridor commonly ranges from about 90 cm to 150 cm, with wider dimensions in public or institutional buildings to accommodate movement and emergency egress.

Materials and finishes differ according to function and aesthetics; common choices include plastered or painted walls, tile, linoleum, or concrete floors, and sometimes handrails on stair landings. Some corridors include alcoves, mail areas, or storage recesses. In modern architecture, corridors may be shortened or integrated into open-plan designs, while traditional urban and multifamily blocks often feature longer corridors that run through large floor plates.

Safety and accessibility are important considerations for folyosók. Regulations typically address clear width, fire resistance, escape routes, and access for people with disabilities, guiding the placement of doors, signage, lighting, and ventilation.

In language and planning, folyosón is a routinely used locative form to describe position within a corridor, and the term appears in architectural plans, building codes, and descriptive writing about interior spaces.
