lægi

Légi is a Hungarian adjective meaning "air" or "aerial," used to describe things related to air, flight, or aviation. It is formed from the noun lég (air) with the common Hungarian adjectival suffix -i, and it appears in front of the noun it modifies in compounds.

In Hungarian, légi is most often found in technical, military, and media terminology related to aviation. Common terms include légiközlekedés (air transport or aviation), légierő (air force), légi jármű or légi közlekedésjármű (aircraft or air vehicle), and légi felvétel (aerial photography). The word serves as a general descriptor for anything involving air travel or aerial considerations.

Usage notes: Légi is not typically used as a stand-alone noun; it functions as an adjective forming compound nouns that specify aviation-related domains. It is distinct from légköri and légkör, which pertain more to the atmosphere and atmospheric phenomena (for example légkör is the atmosphere, légköri relates to atmospheric conditions). In formal or technical Hungarian, légi terms are common in contexts such as civil aviation, military planning, and aerospace reporting.
