mozgó

Mozgó is a Hungarian word that functions as an adjective meaning moving, in motion, or portable. It is formed from the verb mozog, to move, with the participle suffix -ó, and literally denotes “that which moves” or “moving.” In everyday use it precedes a noun to indicate motion or mobility, for example mozgó jármű (a moving vehicle) or mozgó eszköz (a portable device). The form can also be used as a noun in certain technical or descriptive contexts to refer to a moving object.

In media and film language, mozgó appears in compound terms such as mozgókép meaning “moving image” or “moving pictures,” a historical term for film or video. The more common modern term for cinema is mozi, but mozgókép remains in use in formal or educational contexts.

Related Hungarian terms concern motion and gesture, including mozgás (movement), mozdulat (a discrete movement or gesture), and mozgatás (actuation or movement of something). The word is productive in Hungarian morphology, appearing in various phrases describing motion, functionality, or dynamics. It sits within a broader set of lexical items connected to movement and mobility.
