reagálás

Reagálás is a Hungarian noun meaning the act of responding or reacting to something. It is used across many domains, including biology, medicine, psychology, linguistics, and everyday language, to describe a response by an organism, a person, or a system to a stimulus, event, or situation. The word is derived from the verb reagálni and is part of a family of terms borrowed into Hungarian from other European languages, such as German reagieren or English to react.

In biology and medicine, reagálás refers to physiological or pharmacological responses, such as a reflex, hormonal changes, or a patient’s response to treatment. In psychology and the social sciences, it denotes behavioral responses to cues, provocations, or social stimuli, and in communication it can describe how an individual or organization answers questions or reacts to developments. In everyday speech, reagálás is commonly used to describe people’s or groups’ reactions to news, events, or instructions.

Reagálás is often contrasted with the word reagció in Hungarian. Reagció frequently denotes a chemical reaction or a sudden, intense change, whereas reagálás emphasizes the act of giving a response or taking note of something. The distinction is not always strict, and the terms can be used interchangeably when the context clearly indicates a response.

Examples: A beteg reagált a kezelésre. A közönség reagált a bejelentésre. A rendszer gyorsan reagál a hibára.
