megnyitás

Megnyitás is a Hungarian noun meaning the act or process of making something open or accessible. It is formed from the verb megnyitani (to open) and denotes the moment or act of opening, as when a door, document, service, or space is made available. The term is used in both literal and figurative contexts to describe the transition from a closed to an open state.

In computing and information technology, megnyitás is commonly used to describe opening a resource. Phrases such as fájl megnyitása (opening a file), ablak megnyitása (opening a window), or weboldal megnyitása (opening a website) are standard. The term also appears in user interfaces to indicate that access to data or functionality has been granted.

In the context of events and institutions, megnyitás can refer to the opening of a facility, office, or enterprise, for example megnyitása egy új iskolának vagy egy üzlet megnyitása. For ceremonial occasions, megnyitó is more commonly used to denote the opening ceremony (megnyitó ünnepség) or opening event.

Etymology and usage notes: The prefix meg- marks initiation or completion relative to nyit (to open). Nyitás is the more general term for an opening or opening hours, while megnyitás specifically emphasizes the act of opening. The terms are related to other forms such as nyitó (opening, opener) and megnyitó (opening ceremony or show).
