nedvességi

nedvességi is a Hungarian adjective meaning moisture-related or moisture content. It is derived from nedvesség (moisture, humidity) and the suffix -i, and is widely used in technical Hungarian to describe properties that are influenced by water content or environmental moisture.

In practice, nedvességi appears in fields such as building science, plant and soil science, materials science, and textiles. Common phrases include nedvességi állapot (moisture state), nedvességi tartalom (moisture content), and nedvességi hatás (moisture effect). In soils and agriculture, nedvességi tartalom informs irrigation planning and drought assessment; in wood and paper industries, it affects strength, dimensional stability, and aging. In construction, maintaining appropriate nedvességi levels helps reduce the risk of mold and structural damage.

Measurement and standards: moisture content is typically reported as a mass-based percentage (water mass per unit dry material mass). In environmental contexts, moisture is described by relative humidity, while nedvességi measures focus on the water actually contained within a material. Standards for moisture testing specify sampling, drying procedures (such as oven-dry methods) and acceptance criteria; the term nedvességi is used in technical documentation and quality control.

Etymology and usage: the term derives from nedvesség with the adjectival suffix -i. It is common in Hungarian technical language but is not widely used in general English texts; closest translations are "moisture-related" or "moisture content."
