Átírása

Átírása is a Hungarian term referring to the act of transcription or rewriting, and it can denote different concepts depending on context. Broadly, it describes the process of translating or copying information from one form to another, such as rendering speech in written form or transferring content from one text to another. In legal and administrative language, átírás also denotes the transfer of ownership or rights that is recorded in official registries.

Etymology and usage: the word is formed from the prefix át- meaning across or again, and írás, meaning writing. The suffix -a in átírása marks a possessive or nominal form used in Hungarian to indicate “the transcription of” or “its transcription” within a sentence. In linguistic contexts, átírás can refer to phonetic transcription (fonetikai átírás) and phonemic transcription, and it may be contrasted with transliteráció (transliteration) for letter-by-letter rendering between writing systems.

Legal and administrative context: in Hungary, átírás is commonly used to describe the change of ownership recorded in the land registry (ingatlan-átírás) or the transfer of rights in official records. The process typically involves submitting required documents, paying applicable duties and fees, and obtaining formal registration by the competent authority. The term can also appear in agricultural, corporate, or civil records where rights or titles are re-registered.
