ülést

Ülés is a Hungarian noun with several related senses: it can denote the act or state of sitting, as in the physical act of being seated, and it also refers to a formal gathering or meeting, such as a parliamentary or committee session. In everyday language the word is most commonly used for organized meetings (for example, a city council or a legislative body) and for the duration of such meetings, as in phrases like a long session.

Grammatically, ülés is a feminine noun formed with the suffix -és from the verb ülni (to sit). The form ülést is the definite direct object singular (accusative) used when the session is the object of the verb. For example, Az ülést 10 órakor tartják means They will hold the session at 10 o’clock. The noun also appears in compounds and in possessive forms, such as az ülés vezetése (the leadership of the session) or az ülés elnöke (the chair or president of the meeting).

Common contexts and related terms include ülésterem (meeting chamber or assembly hall), ülésszak or üléssorozat (a session or series of sessions), and ülésezet or ülésezés in more formal or institutional language. While ülések can refer to both the act of sitting and to formal gatherings, the precise meaning is usually inferred from context, with parliamentary and organizational settings being the most typical usages.
