Életrajzi

Életrajzi is a Hungarian adjective meaning biographical, relating to a biography or the life story of a real person. The term derives from életrajz, biography, which itself comes from élet (life) and rajz (drawing or depiction).

In contemporary usage, életrajzi describes works or materials that depict the lives of actual individuals rather than fictional characters. It is commonly applied in film, literature, journalism, and academic writing. Examples include életrajzi film (biographical film), életrajzi könyv (biography), and életrajzi regény (biographical novel).

Önéletrajzi is a related form meaning autobiographical, i.e., pertaining to the author’s own life story.

In English, the direct equivalent of életrajzi is biographical. The term helps categorize content by its focus on real-life subjects and factual biographical detail.
