küldetést

Küldetés is a Hungarian noun that denotes a task, assignment, mission, or a person or group’s defined purpose. It is commonly used in organizational, military, religious, journalistic, and personal contexts to describe something that one is sent to accomplish or to a goal that guides actions. The term can refer to both a concrete task and a broader sense of vocation or objective, as in corporate mission statements or religious outreach.

Küldetés is formed from the verb küldni, meaning to send, with the suffix -ítés, which creates a noun indicating an act or result. The word is masculine in gender and has several inflected forms, such as küldetés (nominative singular), küldetést (accusative singular), and küldetések (nominative plural). The accusative form küldetést is used when the mission is the direct object of a transitive verb, for example: A csapat a küldetést teljesítette. A vállalat világos küldetést fogalmaz meg.

In usage, küldetés is often contrasted with feladat (task) or misszió (mission), the latter being a closer loanword in some contexts and more common in international or religious vocabulary. Küldetés is prevalent in modern Hungarian discourse, particularly in business, public administration, and nonprofit sectors, where it frequently appears in discussions of purpose, values, and strategic direction.
