negyedórás

A negyedórás is a Hungarian term that literally translates to "quarter hour." It is most commonly used to refer to a period of fifteen minutes. While it can be used in general contexts to denote this specific duration, it often appears in specific situations.

For instance, in some older educational settings, a negyedórás might have referred to a short, informal assessment or a brief lesson segment. It could also denote a short break or interval within a longer activity. The term implies a short, defined block of time, distinct from a longer period. Its usage is primarily colloquial and not typically found in formal academic or technical writing, though it is widely understood in Hungarian. The exact nuance can sometimes depend on the context in which it is used.
