üzenetek

Üzenetek is a Hungarian term that denotes messages or communications. An üzenet is information conveyed from a sender to a recipient, and it can be verbal, written, or digital. The plural form üzenetek refers to multiple such communications. The concept covers both informal notes among individuals and more formal notifications or statements.

Etymology and form: the word comes from the verb üzenni, meaning to inform or announce. The suffix -et turns the verb into a noun, yielding üzenet (singular) and üzenetek (plural). In usage, the term is broad enough to include short notes, letters, electronic messages, and system notifications.

Usage and contexts: in everyday language, üzenetek can be any conveyed information, from a friend’s text to a message left on an answering machine. In the digital era, the term is commonly applied to text messages (SMS), messages in messaging apps, e-mails, and direct messages on social platforms. It can also denote a broader idea of a message or communication within a work, broadcast, or public discourse.

Historical and literary notes: before electronic communication, an üzenet was a message delivered by courier or written note. In literature and media, üzenet may refer to the underlying meaning or theme of a work, while üzenetek can describe multiple messages conveyed across texts or broadcasts.
