Csomópontként

Csomópontként is a Hungarian form meaning “as a node” or “in the role of a node.” It is the noun csomópont (node, junction) plus the suffix -ként, which marks designation or function, similar to English “as.” This suffix is widely used in Hungarian to express roles, positions, or identities within a system, and csomópontként is its application to the concept of a node.

In usage, csomópontként denotes that something is acting or is identified as a node within a structure such as a graph, network, or physical network. It is common in technical writing about graph theory, computer networks, logistics, and urban planning, but it can appear in general descriptions as well. The form is typically placed immediately after the noun and does not inflect for case.

Examples:

- Ez a pont csomópontként funkcionál a hálózatban. (This point functions as a node in the network.)

- A grafikonon a csomópontként ábrázolt pont összeköti a szomszédos éleket. (In the graph, the point depicted as a node connects the adjacent edges.)

- Ő csomópontként vesz részt a rendszer működésében. (He participates in the system’s operation as a node.)

In many contexts, csomópontként is preceded by a phrase like “mint” to emphasize the role, as in “mint csomópontként.” The form is primarily a grammatical tool for indicating function, rather than a standalone technical concept unique to one field.
