olvasok

Olvasók is the plural form of olvasó in Hungarian, a noun meaning "readers." The base word olvasó comes from the verb olvasni, meaning "to read," with the agent suffix -ó that turns a verb into a noun meaning "one who does." Thus olvasó can refer to a person who reads or, in some contexts, to a device that reads data, with the plural olvasók used when speaking of multiple readers or reading devices.

In everyday use, olvasók denotes the audience or the people who read a text, such as a book, newspaper, magazine, or online content. It appears in phrases like az olvasók véleménye (the readers’ opinion) or az olvasók közönsége (the reading audience). The term is neutral and widely applied across literary, journalistic, educational, and publishing contexts. It can also refer to patrons of libraries or users of reading materials.

In computing and media contexts, olvasó can designate a device that reads data, such as a kártyaolvasó (card reader) or egy olvasóegység (a reader unit). When referring specifically to people, however, olvasók remains the standard form. In practice, the meaning is typically clear from context, and the word is commonly used in both formal and informal Hungarian.
