Enkénti

Enkénti is a Hungarian attributive adjective meaning "per person" or "per capita." It is used primarily in formal or statistical language to express values that are divided by a population unit, such as per-capita costs, incomes, or rates.

Formation and usage: It is formed from the adverb enként ("per, apiece") with the suffix -i to produce an adjective that precedes a noun: enkénti költség, enkénti bevétel, enkénti adat. The term is common in statistical tables, budgets, and official reports to present per-person figures.

Examples: According to economic data, az enkénti költség is 3,000 forints. Az enkénti bevétel nőtt az elmúlt években. These examples illustrate how the expression introduces per-capita measures within Hungarian texts.

Alternatives and nuance: In everyday Hungarian, more common expressions for per-capita measures include egy főre eső or egy főre jutó phrases. For instance, egy főre eső költség or egy főre jutó jövedelem are widely understood in non-specialist contexts. Enkénti tends to appear in formal statistics, governmental reports, and technical writing.
