jóváírja

jóváírja is a Hungarian verb meaning "to credit" or "to write in." It is primarily used in financial contexts, referring to the act of adding funds to an account. When a bank or financial institution jóváírja a sum of money, it means that amount has been deposited and is now available to the account holder. This can occur for various reasons, such as receiving a salary, a deposit from a customer, or an interest payment. The opposite action is "terhel" or "megterhel," which means to debit or charge an account. Understanding jóváírja is essential for anyone managing bank accounts or dealing with financial transactions in Hungary. The term can also be used more broadly to signify acknowledging or approving something, though its financial application is the most common. For example, an invoice might be jóváírva, meaning it has been approved and recorded.
