preferáltak

Preferáltak is a Hungarian term used to denote those people or things that are preferred or favored in a particular context. The word is the plural form of preferált, an adjective formed from the verb preferál (to prefer) and used as a noun-like designation for those who are preferred.

The term is a Hungarian loanword commonly linked to the French préferer. In practice, preferáltak appear in discussions of priority or privileged treatment, such as in employment, procurement, or policy design. The phrase can describe a group that receives advantages or prioritization over others in a specified process, for example “preferált vállalatok” in a procurement procedure, or “preferáltak státusza” in an organizational rule.

In usage, preferáltak may be contrasted with other groups that do not receive those advantages, and the related concept is előnyben részesítés, or preferential treatment. The adjective preferált can also describe objects or options that are favored, and the plural preferáltak can refer to the set of favored people or items.
