The term can be translated into Hungarian. However, it does not exist in Hungary, because the Hungarian Parliament is a unicameral entity.

Definitions of lower house

English

the part of a parliament in a bicameral system (=a country that has two legislative chambers) that often has more representatives and which is sometimes considered lower or less important than the other. Examples include the House of Commons (UK) and the House of Representatives (US).
