sokfeladatú

Sokfeladatú is a Hungarian adjective meaning "having many tasks" or "multitasking." It is used to describe systems, processes, or activities that involve managing multiple tasks either concurrently or in quick succession.

Etymology: the word is formed from sok (many) and feladat (task) with the suffix -ú, which creates an adjective indicating a characteristic. The term is common in Hungarian technical, educational, and descriptive writing.

In computing and technology, sokfeladatú describes multitasking operating systems and applications capable of handling several processes at once, as opposed to single-task or single-thread systems. It can refer to software designed to manage multiple tasks or to scheduling strategies enabling time-sharing and parallelism.

In psychology and education, sokfeladatú tasks are used to study attention, working memory, and task switching, often in dual-task experiments where participants perform two tasks simultaneously to assess interference and cognitive load.

Usage notes: in Hungarian, sokfeladatú may be replaced with többfeladatú depending on the context. The term is more common in technical or descriptive writing and may appear alongside loanwords like multitasking.
