Összefoglalóban

Összefoglalóban is a Hungarian adverbial form derived from the noun összefoglaló, meaning "summary," with the inessive suffix -ban ("in"). The word is used to indicate information that appears in or is contained within a summary. It is predominantly found in formal written Hungarian, such as academic articles, reports, and analysis, where it helps guide readers to conclusions or statements that are drawn from condensed content.

In usage, összefoglalóban typically introduces claims or observations that originate in a summarized portion of the text. It functions as a transitional marker to present concise conclusions or restated points without repeating all details from the full discussion. For example, a writer might begin a sentence with, "Összefoglalóban megállapítható, hogy..." or "Összefoglalóban kiemelt pontok szerint..." to flag statements grounded in the summary rather than the full analysis. The phrasing is most common near the end of a section or document, or within a dedicated summary segment.

Related forms and alternatives include összefoglalóan, used to mean "in summary" as an adverb, and összefoglaló jelleggel, which can convey a summarizing or condensed character. However, összefoglalóban emphasizes location within the summary itself rather than the manner of summarization. The term is a standard, neutral device in Hungarian academic and professional writing for signaling summarized content.
