szólítást

Szólítás is a Hungarian word that translates to "calling," "addressing," or "invocation." In a grammatical context, it refers to the vocative case, which is used to address someone or something directly. While Hungarian has largely lost its case system, the vocative form is still present, especially in informal speech and for certain nouns. It is often formed by adding a suffix to the noun, though some common nouns have irregular vocative forms. The vocative case distinguishes a direct address from the subject or object of a sentence.

Beyond grammar, szólítás can also refer to the act of calling out to someone or something, whether in person, by phone, or even in a more abstract sense like a spiritual calling. For example, one might talk about the szólítás of a particular profession or a divine calling. The context in which the word is used determines its precise meaning. It is a versatile term with both linguistic and more general applications in the Hungarian language.
