Közeli is a Hungarian word that translates to "near" or "close" in English. It is an adverb and can describe proximity in both a physical and abstract sense. For example, "közel van a ház" means "the house is near," referring to physical distance. In a more abstract context, "közel van a cél" could mean "the goal is close," indicating that it is attainable or that progress towards it is significant.

The word is derived from the Proto-Finno-Ugric root *koza*, meaning "close." It is a fundamental word in the Hungarian language, used in a wide range of everyday expressions. Its comparative form is "közelebb," meaning "closer," and its superlative form is "legközelebb," meaning "closest." These forms are used to describe degrees of proximity.

Közeli can also function as an adjective, though this is less common. In such cases, it would typically be used in a compound noun or to describe something that is immediate or recent. For instance, "közeli barát" translates to "close friend." The adverbial usage, however, is far more prevalent and is essential for conveying concepts of proximity in Hungarian. The word's versatility makes it a cornerstone of spatial and temporal descriptions in the language.
