helyesbítését

Helyesbítését is the definite accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun helyesbítés, meaning a correction, amendment, or rectification. The base word combines helyes (correct) with the suffix -ítés, which creates nouns that denote an action. Helyesbítés, in general, refers to the act or result of correcting errors in texts, data, or statements, and is used in contexts ranging from publication to administration.

Usage and scope: In journalism and publishing, helyesbítés is frequently used to describe corrections issued for previously published material. In administrative, legal, and academic settings, it can denote corrections to records, datasets, procedures, or official statements. The term may also appear in scientific or medical contexts when rectifying reported results. The form helyesbítését specifically marks the corrected item as the object of the verb in sentences, for example: A lap közzétette a helyesbítését. (The paper published its correction.)

Grammatical note: Hungarian nouns decline for case, and helyesbítését is the definite direct object form. The genitive singular would be helyesbítésének, and other cases use different suffixes. In English, the term is commonly translated as “the correction” or “its correction.”
