10kszoros

10kszoros, written in Hungarian as 10k-szoros, is an informal term used to denote a multiplier of ten thousand (10,000). It functions as shorthand for tízezerszeres, the standard Hungarian word for “ten-thousandfold.” The construction combines 10k, a compact form where k stands for thousand, with the suffix -szoros, which forms adjectives meaning “times as large.” As such, 10kszoros effectively means “ten thousand times as much” and is used primarily in non-technical or emphatic contexts.

Etymology and form: the prefix 10k signals the numeric value 10,000, derived from 10 × 1,000, while the Hungarian suffix -szoros denotes a multiplicative factor, analogous to -fold in English. The term mirrors other compound adjectives such as tízszeres (tenfold) or százezerszeres (hundred-thousandfold), but extends to the more extreme scale of 10k-szoros for large magnitudes.

Usage: the expression appears in informal writing, online discussions, and popular science to convey extreme growth or scaling. In formal mathematics, finance, or official reporting, one would typically write 10^4 or 10 000-szeres explicitly to avoid ambiguity.

Examples: “A vállalat bevétele 10k-szorosára nőtt az előző évhez képest” (The company’s revenue increased ten-thousandfold compared with the previous year). “A populáció 10k-szeresére növekedhet a következő évtizedben.”
