szerepel

Szerepel is a Hungarian verb form meaning to appear, to take part in a production, or to be featured. It is used to indicate that a person or thing is part of a film, play, television program, or news item, or that a name or fact appears in a publication. The infinitive form of the verb is szerepelni. In present usage, the form szerepel is the third-person singular present indicative, as in A filmben ő szerepel (He/She appears in the film). Other persons and numbers are conjugated according to standard Hungarian conjugation patterns.

In media and arts, szerepel is commonly used to describe an actor’s participation or a work’s contents. It can also mean that a detail or piece of information appears in a text, such as A cikkben szerepel a neve (His name appears in the article). The term is closely related to, but distinct from, fellépés (live stage appearance) and szereplés (an appearance or feature in a work). The noun forms szereplés and szereplő can denote the act of appearing or an actor, respectively.

See also: szerep, szereplés, fellépés, szerepelni.

Szerepel is a general-purpose term in Hungarian, with meaning largely determined by context, and it is widely used in journalism, film, theater, and everyday speech.
