kilép

Kilép is a Hungarian verb meaning to exit, to step out, or to withdraw. It covers leaving a place, quitting an activity, or resigning from an organization, and in computing it commonly refers to closing a program or logging out of a system.

The word is formed from lép ("to step") with the prefix ki- meaning "out." Kilép is therefore a prefixed verb and often uses separable-prefix conjugation, so the ki- can detach in some tenses (for example Kilépek a szobából – I step out of the room).

In everyday language, kilép can be used with various complements: "Kilépek az irodából" (I leave the office); "Kilépett a klubból" (He left the club). The noun kilépés means an exit, withdrawal, or resignation; it can refer to the act itself or to choosing to leave a group or place.

In computing, kilépés or kilép a programból describes quitting a software application or ending a session, commonly seen in user interfaces as menu items or button labels (Kilépés, Exit). The term is standard in Hungarian-language manuals, tutorials, and help texts.

Across contexts, kilép carries a sense of outward departure, in contrast with forms that indicate staying or remaining inside a boundary.
