Cacheknál

Cacheknál is a Hungarian term used in information technology and computing contexts to indicate the location or processing at a cache. It is formed from the English word cache combined with the Hungarian locative suffix -nál, which denotes “at” or “by.” In practice, cacheknál identifies data, operations, or events that occur within or near a cache memory or caching layer.

Etymology and usage notes

The base word cache is commonly translated in Hungarian as gyorsítótár, but in technical writing and mixed-language contexts, cache appears in compounds such as cacheknál. The suffix -nál marks a spatial or contextual location, so cacheknál can be read as “at the cache” or “at the caching layer.” While not part of standard Hungarian vocabulary, cacheknál appears in manuals, logs, and informal documentation where English technical terms are integrated into Hungarian sentences.

Typical contexts

- Describing data availability: “A cacheknál tárolt adatok gyorsabban elérhetők.” (Data stored at the cache are retrieved more quickly.)

- Referencing processing steps: “Cacheknál történő feldolgozás” (processing at the cache).

- Distinguishing from main memory or storage: “Az adatok a cacheknál maradnak, mielőtt a rendszer olvasná őket a lemezről.” (Data remain at the cache before the system reads them from disk.)

Relation to standard terminology

The more formal Hungarian term for cache is gyorsítótár, and for caching in general the verb form „gyorsítótárazás” is used. Cacheknál is primarily seen as a pragmatic, shorthand expression in IT documentation or code comments where English terms are embedded in Hungarian text.
