Egészébe

Egészébe is a Hungarian adverbial phrase meaning "into its entirety" or "in its entirety." It is used to indicate that something is considered, included, or applied without omission, with attention to every part. The phrase is built from the adjective egész ("whole") and a directional suffix -be, producing a sense of moving toward or extending into the whole. It is most common in formal, analytical, or literary prose and is less frequent in everyday speech.

In function, egészébe serves to qualify actions such as examination, consideration, or incorporation by stressing the completeness of the scope. It can appear in contexts discussing completeness of coverage, inclusion of all elements, or thorough application. Because it is relatively specialized, writers often prefer more common alternatives such as egészében ("in its entirety") or teljes egészében ("in full"), which convey similar meaning with broader usage. The difference is subtle: egészébe emphasizes the inclusion or consideration of every part as directed into its entirety, whereas teljes egészében simply stresses completeness.

Notes on usage: the phrase is typically found in contexts where precision is important, such as legal texts, scholarly discussions, or careful reviews. It may be used with verbs meaning to consider, to apply, or to assess, where the scope is meant to be all-encompassing. For learners, recognizing that egészébe marks completeness and directed inclusion helps distinguish it from related expressions like egészében or teljes egészében.
