    Synonym: lift

Usage notes

While rarely used in common speech, it is the predominant form used in official and legal language, including signage, where the more colloquial lift is rarely if ever used. Compare kutya and eb, autó and személygépkocsi, etc.

It is preferred over lift as a root for producing new words with qualifiers, e.g. személyfelvonó (passenger elevator), teherfelvonó (goods elevator), ételfelvonó (dumbwaiter), etc. Analogous forms produced with lift are possible but far less common.
