Ügyvédi

Ügyvédi is an adjective in Hungarian that describes things relating to lawyers or the legal profession. It is derived from the noun ügyvéd, meaning lawyer or attorney, and is widely used in legal and administrative language to modify nouns such as tevékenység (activity), praxis (practice), titoktartás (confidentiality), díj (fee), or kamara (chamber).

Etymology and usage: The form ügyvédi comes from ügyvéd plus the adjectival suffix -i. The root ügy refers to a matter or case, while véd means to defend; together they point to the professional defender of a matter, i.e., a lawyer. The adjective is commonly employed in phrases like ügyvédi tevékenység (legal practice), ügyvédi titoktartás (attorney-client confidentiality), ügyvédi díj (attorney’s fee), and ügyvédi praxis (practice of law). It also appears in institutional terms such as ügyvédi kamara.

Legal context in Hungary: Lawyers are regulated by the professional body known as the Magyar Ügyvédi Kamara (Hungarian Bar Association). The term ügyvédi is frequently found in official texts, policies, and contract language to denote rights, duties, or standards that pertain to the legal profession or to individual attorneys.
