Centiméterig

Centiméterig is a Hungarian expression used to denote a maximum extent measured in centimeters. It is formed from the unit centiméter together with the suffix -ig, which indicates “up to” or “to the extent of.” The construction is commonly employed in technical, industrial, and everyday contexts to specify a limit or tolerance.

In practice, centiméterig is typically combined with a numeral to express the upper bound of a dimension. For example, és a drilling depth can be set to five centimeters? The usual phrasing is: “öt centiméterig” (up to five centimeters). The phrase can describe limits in manufacturing tolerances, construction drawings, furniture making, and other activities where precise size constraints matter. It implies a measurement that may be exact to the centimeter, rather than to sub-centimeter fractions, though actual instrument precision may vary.

Grammar and usage notes: centiméterig acts as a bound marker attached to the numeral plus unit phrase. It is more common in formal or technical language than in casual speech. Other units can form analogous expressions with -ig, such as méterig or milliméterig, to indicate ranges up to a given length.
