gemelését

Gemelését is a Hungarian term that translates to "twinship" or "twin birth" in English. It specifically refers to the phenomenon of having twins. In Hungarian culture and language, the word is used in various contexts, from discussing the biological event of giving birth to twins, to more figurative or symbolic uses related to strong bonds or resemblances.

The term can be used to describe fraternal twins (iker) or identical twins (egymásra hasonlító iker or monozygotic iker), though often the general term gemelését is sufficient. It is a common word in everyday conversation when discussing family planning, genetics, or simply the experience of raising twins.

Beyond its literal meaning, gemelését can sometimes be employed metaphorically. For instance, two very similar objects or concepts might be described as having a "gemelését," implying a striking likeness or parallel existence. However, the primary and most frequent usage of the term remains rooted in the biological occurrence of twin births. The grammatical form "gemelését" is the accusative case of "gemelés," indicating "gemelés" as the direct object of a verb, such as "to experience gemelését" or "to cause gemelését."
