utalások

Utalások are the plural form of utalás, a Hungarian noun with several related meanings. The verb utal means to refer, indicate, or allude, and utalás denotes the act or instance of that reference. The plural utalások covers several senses across different domains, such as finance, literature, and everyday speech.

In finance, utalás refers to a payment instruction directing a bank to transfer money from one account to another. Utalások can be domestic or international and are commonly implemented as bank transfers or wire transfers. The term is used in banking communications, invoices, and business correspondence. In some contexts, átutalás is used for the actual transfer, while utalás denotes the instruction itself.

In literature and academia, utalás means a reference or allusion to another work or source. It can denote a bibliographic citation or a broader intertextual hint. In literary criticism, utalások are analyzed to show connections between authors or texts, and together with hivatkozások, contribute to the scholarly apparatus of a work.

In everyday language utalás can also mean a hint or suggestion. For example, a remark may contain an indirect utalás to a past event or to something familiar to the audience. The term thus spans practical, artistic, and rhetorical uses, reflecting the central idea of pointing toward something beyond the immediate statement.
