visszautasítása

Visszautasítása is a Hungarian noun meaning the act of refusing or turning down something that has been offered, requested, or proposed. It describes a decision by an individual or an institution to deny an initiative, request, or opportunity. The term is neutral and commonly found in formal contexts such as administrative decisions, legal documents, and business communication, but it is also used in everyday speech when someone declines an invitation or an offer.

The word is formed from the verb visszautasít (to refuse, to reject) with the nominal suffix -ás, and it can appear with possessive endings to indicate whose refusal is being discussed. For example, kérelmet visszautasították means “they refused the request,” while a visszautasítása can mean “the rejection of it” or “his/her/its refusal,” depending on the sentence structure. In usage, visszautasítása is often contrasted with elutasítás (a more general term for rejection) and is typically chosen when the response is a direct or explicit denial to a specific proposal or offer.

Common contexts include: refusals of applications or bids (Pályázat visszautasítása), denials of invitations (Meghívás visszautasítása), or refusals of terms in negotiations. The term carries a formal tone and is appropriate in official records, diplomatic language, and professional correspondence, but it can be used in nonofficial discourse as well.

Related terms include elutasítás (rejection) and visszintézmény vagy visszajelzés (feedback). The concept centers on a definitive decline rather than a negotiation or modification of terms.
