sérelmek

Sérelmek is a Hungarian noun meaning injuries, wrongs, or grievances suffered by a person. The term can refer to physical harm as well as moral, social, or legal affronts, and is used in everyday language as well as in formal or legal discourse to describe harm caused by another party's acts or omissions. The plural form sérelmek is commonly contrasted with the more general term kár, which denotes economic loss.

In legal contexts, sérelmek may occur in discussions of civil liability, claims for damages, or breaches of rights. The idiom szenvedni sérelmet means to suffer a wrong or injury; sérelmet okozni means to cause a wrong. The expression is relatively formal and is more likely to appear in legal, administrative, or literary texts than in colloquial speech.

The singular form is sérelm; plural sérelmek. The term appears in Hungarian from historical to modern usage; its exact origin is uncertain, and it remains chiefly in formal or literary contexts.
