idopont

Időpont, often written idopont in texts without diacritics, is a Hungarian noun meaning a specific moment in time or a moment at which something occurs or is scheduled to occur. The term derives from idő ("time") and pont ("point"), and it emphasizes a precise instant rather than a duration. In general use, időpont can refer to an appointment, a scheduled meeting, or a deadline, though the latter is more commonly described with határidő in Hungarian.

In practical contexts, időpont is widely used in scheduling and administrative forms. For example, "Kérjük, erősítse meg az időpontot" means "Please confirm the appointment time," and "Az időpont módosítása" means "changing the time of the appointment." In forms and calendars, the word is typically accompanied by a date and a time, such as "időpont: 2025-07-12 14:30" or in Hungarian date format "2025.07.12. 14:30."

Nuances: the term denotes a precise moment, not a duration; if one speaks of the length of an event, other words such as időtartam or intervallum may be used.
