átélés

ítélés is a Hungarian noun meaning the act of judging, forming an opinion, or evaluating something, as well as the result of such a process. It derives from the verb ítélni, meaning to judge or decide. The term is used across everyday language and formal discourse to refer to assessment, appraisal, or the formation of a viewpoint.

In general language, ítélés covers both subjective judgments about people and objective assessments of objects or situations. It can express a cognitive act (the mental process of judging) or the outcome of that act (a judgment or assessment). The word is closely related to megítélés (the act of evaluating or appraising) and ítélkezés (the act or process of judging, especially in a formal or judicial sense). The related noun ítélet more specifically denotes a verdict or final judicial decision.

In legal contexts, ítélés may denote the process by which a judge forms a ruling or the broader act of judging a case. The standard terms for a court’s final decision are ítélet (verdict or judgment) and határozat (ruling or order), depending on the legal system and the nature of the decision. Thus, ítélés sits at the intersection of everyday evaluation and formal judicial activity, with nuances shaped by context.
