könnyítés

Könnyítés is a Hungarian noun meaning the act or result of making something easier or less burdensome. It is used to describe measures or actions that reduce difficulty, effort, or time required to complete a task. In public policy, administration, law, and economics, könnyítés refers to relief or facilitation measures intended to simplify processes, ease procedures, or lessen obligations.

The word is formed from the adjective könnyű ("easy, light") with the suffix -ítés to indicate an action or process; the corresponding verb is könnyít ("to ease, to simplify").

Common contexts include administrative könnyítés (administrative relief), adókönnyítés or tax relief, and jogi- or pénzügyi könnyítés (legal or financial relief). In everyday language, one may speak of könnyítés in office work, for example "könnyítés a papírmunkában" (easing the paperwork). It can also appear in policy descriptions as "kötelezettségek könnyítése" or "könnyítő intézkedések" (facilitating measures).

While versatile, könnyítés is broad and context-dependent; precise meaning relies on accompanying nouns and adjectives, such as "adminisztratív könnyítés," "adókönnyítés," or "kulturális könnyítés." It is related to, but not identical with, terms such as egyszerűsítés (simplification) and adómentesség (tax exemption) depending on the legal framework.
