tetszleges

Tetszleges is not the standard Hungarian form; the correct adjective is tetszőleges, meaning arbitrary or any. In practice, it is used to indicate that a choice is unrestricted and can be any member of a given set. The term is common in mathematical, computational, and technical writing to denote an element or value chosen without a specified constraint.

In mathematics and computer science, tetszőleges is used to express generality. For example, the phrase tetszőleges x ∈ S means “let x be any element of S,” and tetszőleges bemenet means “an arbitrary input.” This usage helps describe concepts, proofs, or algorithms that must hold for all possible cases rather than for a single instance.

Orthography and usage notes. The form tetszőleges is preferred in standard Hungarian orthography. The spelling tetszleges is a common misspelling or typographical simplification that may appear in informal texts or non-Hungarian contexts, but it is not considered correct in formal writing. When writing in Hungarian, writers should use tetszőleges to convey arbitrariness or generality. See also tetszés (liking) and the broader concept of bármilyen (any).
