közeli

Közeli is a Hungarian term that can refer to different uses in language and toponymy. As a common adjective, közeli means "nearby" or "proximal." It is formed from the noun közel (near) with the adjectival suffix -i and is used before nouns to describe proximity, for example közeli ház (the nearby house) or közeli település (the nearby settlement). The form is generally written in lowercase unless it begins a sentence or functions as part of a proper name.

In toponymy, Közeli is not known as a widely recognized independent town or village in major geographic databases. If encountered as a place name, it is typically a component of a longer locality name or a local designation reflecting proximity to a feature rather than an established, standalone settlement. Local usage can vary, and small cadastre, neighborhood, or farm names may exist within municipalities that incorporate the element.

Etymology and related terms: Közeli derives from közel, meaning near, with the suffix -i to form an adjective. Related linguistic forms include közelség (nearness, proximity) and other compounds that express proximity or locality.
