Etymology

[edit]

tisztelet (respect) +‎ -em (my, possessive suffix)

Pronunciation

[edit]
  • IPA(key): [ˈtistɛlɛtɛm]
  • Hyphenation: tisz‧te‧le‧tem
  • Rhymes: -ɛm

Interjection

[edit]

tiszteletem

  1. hello, sir (see usage notes)

Usage notes

[edit]

Used by men towards older men with whom they are acquainted, for instance an elderly coworker, or one's father-in-law. In situations like these, it is a very polite form of greeting, since it conveys a greater degree of both affection and respect (literally) than the more formal and distant jó napot kívánok.
