megvásárló

Megvásárló is a Hungarian noun meaning a person or entity that purchases goods or services; in English, the buyer or purchaser. The term is used in both everyday language and more formal or legal contexts. In ordinary speech, vevő is more common for a customer or consumer, while megvásárló emphasizes the act of acquiring ownership and the financial or contractual aspects of the purchase.

In commercial and legal usage, megvásárló often designates the party that completes a transaction. For example, in a szerződéses adásvételi folyamat (sale and purchase agreement), the megvásárló is the buyer and the eladó is the seller. The word thus tends to appear in business reports, press coverage of acquisitions, and contractual documents where precise roles of the contracting parties are described.

In the context of mergers and acquisitions, megvásárló is commonly used to refer to the acquiring company, though alternatives like felvásárló may also be employed depending on nuance or regional preference. The term does not specify the method of payment or the price; it designates the purchasing party once ownership transfer is intended or underway.

Etymology: megvásárló is formed from vásárló (buyer) with the prefix meg-, signaling completion or achievement in the context of the purchase. See also vevő, eladó, adásvételi szerződés.
