mosdókagylót

The term "mosdókagyló" is the Hungarian word for a washbasin or sink, typically found in a bathroom or washroom. It is a common fixture used for personal hygiene activities such as washing hands, face, and teeth. The word itself is a compound of "mosdó" meaning "washroom" or "lavatory" and "kagyló" meaning "shell," likely referring to the bowl-like shape of many early basins.

Mosdókagylók come in various materials, including ceramic, porcelain, stainless steel, and sometimes natural stone. Their designs range from simple, functional bowls to more elaborate pedestal sinks or integrated countertop units. The plumbing associated with a mosdókagyló includes a faucet for hot and cold water supply and a drain to remove used water. They are essential components of modern sanitation systems in homes, public buildings, and commercial establishments. The appearance and style of a mosdókagyló can significantly influence the overall aesthetic of a bathroom.
