szertartásos

The Hungarian word "szertartásos" translates to "ceremonial" in English. It describes something that is performed according to a specific set of rules, rituals, or customs. This can apply to a wide range of activities, from religious services and state occasions to more informal traditions within families or communities.

The term implies a structured and often solemn or significant performance. It suggests that the actions are not arbitrary but follow a pre-established order, often imbued with symbolic meaning. For instance, a wedding ceremony is a "szertartásos" event, as is a state funeral or a traditional coming-of-age ritual.

In a broader sense, "szertartásos" can also describe a person or a way of life that adheres strictly to protocols and established procedures, perhaps even to the point of being overly formal or rigid. However, its primary meaning relates to the execution of formal rites and observances. The emphasis is on the observance of tradition and the proper performance of prescribed actions.
