nézet

Nézet is a Hungarian noun meaning view, perspective, or outlook, and it can also refer to the visible presentation of data or a user interface. In everyday language it denotes a particular way of looking at something or a facet of a topic. In computing and information design, nézet is used as the translation of the English term “view,” describing a presentation or representation of information.

Etymology and nuance: the word comes from the verb néz, meaning to look, with the suffix -et to form an abstract noun. It coexists with nézőpont, which more specifically emphasizes a stance or point of view. While nézet and nézőpont can be related, nézet often highlights the actual display or representation rather than the interpretive stance.

Usage: In general text, nézet can denote opinions or interpretations, as in different nézetek about a policy. In technical contexts, it refers to a particular presentation of information: a database nézet (SQL view) or a user interface nézet. The term is commonly used in Hungarian software documentation to translate “view,” though exact nuance may vary with context.

Computing contexts: In software design, nézet is the term for the View component in the Model–View–Controller pattern (Model = modell, View = nézet, Controller = vezérlő). In databases, an SQL nézet is a stored query that presents data from one or more tables as a virtual table. Applications may offer multiple nézetek to show different aspects of the same data or workflow.
