In a shopping centre, I saw this: 

Mobiltelefon should not be a problem for a language learner, but what about szaküzlet?

üzlet = business, shop

And szak? 

Szak- means that something or somebody is specialized in something. For example, szaküzlet is a shop, which is specialized in selling mobile phones. 

We have many other words starting with szak-. 

• szakorvos is a doctor (orvos = doctor), who is specialized in a medical field, a specialist
• szakmunkás is a skilled worker (munkás = worker) 
• szakember is a en expert (ember = man, human)
• szakiskola is a vocational school (iskola = school) 
• szakképzés is vocational training (képzés = forming, training) 

Szak, as a special field, has a meaning by itself too. It refers to BSc or MSc level university programs. 

• Matematika szakos vagyok = approx. I am specialized in the maths program (szakos = adjective derived from szak)
