leolvasását

Leolvasását is a Hungarian noun phrase that denotes the act of reading something aloud. It functions as the accusative form of leolvasás, the noun meaning “reading aloud.” The phrase is used when the act itself is the direct object of a verb or when referring to the specific act of reading a text aloud.

Etymology and form: Leolvasás is formed from the verb leolvas (to read aloud) plus the nominalizing suffix -ás. The ending -át in leolvasását marks the definite direct object in Hungarian grammar, yielding the sense “the reading aloud of it” or simply “the reading aloud.”

Usage: The term appears in formal contexts—courts, assemblies, classrooms—where a document or text is read aloud for an audience. It commonly occurs with verbs such as olvas; for example, a sentence like “A határozat leolvasását a jegyző végezte el a tárgyaláson” means “The reading aloud of the resolution was carried out by the clerk in the courtroom.” Another example is “Kérjük a leolvasását,” meaning “We request its reading aloud” in a formal context.

Related terms: Related Hungarian terms include leolvasás (the act of reading aloud) and felolvasás (reading aloud to someone). The simple verb olvasás refers to reading in general.
