Csapatként

Csapatként is a Hungarian adverbial form meaning “as a team” or “in the capacity of a team.” It is created by attaching the suffix -ként to the noun csapat (team). The suffix -ként expresses role, function, or identity, so csapatként denotes acting in the role or as the collective unit of a team rather than as individuals.

The phrase is used to emphasize collective action, responsibility, or perspective. It often contrasts with forms like egyénként (as an individual) or csapatban (in a team, as part of a team). In sentences, csapatként typically accompanies verbs of action or decision, indicating that the described activity is performed by the group as a whole.

Common usages include constructions such as: “Csapatként dolgozunk a projekten” (We are working on the project as a team), “Csapatként felelősek vagyunk a végeredményért” (As a team, we are responsible for the outcome), and “Csapatként értékeljük a lehetőségeket” (As a team, we evaluate the opportunities). The form appears in sports journalism, business communication, and organizational discourse to underscore collaboration and collective stance.

Related concepts include csapatban (in a team, as part of a team) and egyénként (as an individual). While csapatként highlights the group’s standpoint or action, csapatban emphasizes membership in the group, and egyénként contrasts the group emphasis with individual action. Csapatként is widely understood in formal and informal Hungarian, making it a common expression for describing cooperative, collective conduct.
