megbízójuk

Me gbízójuk is a Hungarian term that refers to a person or organization that gives a task or mandate to another party. The base noun megbízó denotes the client, principal, or employer in a professional or commercial relationship, while the person who carries out the task is typically called a megbízott (the agent or mandatary). The possessive form megbízójuk means “their client,” used when speaking about the client of multiple people or entities.

In legal and business contexts, megbízó and megbízott enter into a contract of mandate (megbízási szerződés). The megbízó issues instructions and pays for the services, while the megbízott acts on behalf of the megbízó, within the scope of the mandate and subject to its terms. This relationship emphasizes fidelity to the client’s interests and compliance with directions, though it can also include limits or references to professional standards, depending on the contract and applicable law.

The term is common across professional services, procurement, and consultancy, as well as in everyday business communication. It is appropriate to use the form megbízójuk when referring to the client of several individuals or organizations in formal writing or dialogue, e.g., “A megbízójuk kérésére módosítottuk a szerződést.”

Etymology traces megbízó to the verb megbízni (to entrust), with the suffix -ó forming a noun meaning the one who entrusts or hires. The concept is central to the Hungarian civil-law framework of representation and agency.
