Elkülönítetten

Elkülönítetten is a Hungarian adverb meaning “separately” or “distinctly,” used to describe actions, analyses, or classifications performed in a way that treats items or aspects as separate rather than as a single combined whole. It can convey a sense of methodical distinction, precision, or isolation of parts within a larger set.

The word is built from the verb elkülöníteni, “to separate or distinguish,” with the prefix el-, the participle stem elkülönített, and the adverbial suffix -en, yielding elkülönítetten. It is closely related to the noun elkülönítés, meaning “separation” or “distinction,” and to other adverbs formed in this pattern.

Common uses occur in technical, academic, or formal contexts. For example: Az adatokat elkülönítetten vizsgálták, hogy különböző tényezők hatását egyenként értékelhessék. A jelentésben a részeket elkülönítetten emelték ki. A feladatokat elkülönítetten kezelve lehet elkerülni az összefolyásokat és a torzításokat. In everyday language, it may appear in more precise or analytical descriptions, contrasting with adverbs like külön-külön or egyedileg, which can carry a more general sense of listing or handling separately.

Nuance-wise, elkülönítetten emphasizes a deliberate separation process or a formal distinction, often in writing, analysis, or reporting. It is less common in casual speech, where simpler forms such as külön-külön might be preferred. See also elkülönítés (separation) and elkülönített (separated).
