Írásokat

Írásokat is the accusative plural form of the Hungarian noun írás, which broadly refers to a written work, text, document, or the act of writing. In everyday language the phrase can denote multiple writings or texts that are being considered, studied, or acted upon, for example: Beadták az írásokat a tanszéknek (They submitted the writings to the department) or Olvasom az írásokat (I am reading the writings).

Etymology and grammar: The word írás derives from the verb írni (to write) and a nominalizing suffix -ás, yielding a general sense of “the written thing” or “the act of writing.” The plural írások covers multiple writings, while the accusative form írásokat marks those writings as the direct object in a clause. In canonical religious usage, the term Szentírás (the Holy Scripture) appears in plural as Szentírások, with the corresponding accusative Szentírásokat.

Usage and nuance: írások and írásokat can refer to a wide range of written material—from literary texts and academic papers to official documents and personal handwriting. The sense is often determined by context: írás can be a single piece of writing or a body of writings; irat is more commonly used for official documents, whereas írás frequently emphasizes the text itself or the act of writing. Distinctions may blur in everyday speech, but írásokat specifically signals multiple writings as the object of discussion or action.
