Ezenfelül

Ezenfelül is a Hungarian adverb that functions as a conjunctive connector, meaning in addition to this or furthermore. It is used to introduce an additional point in a statement, argument, or description and is common in formal or written Hungarian, such as academic papers, official reports, or journalism. In English, it is often rendered as “furthermore,” “moreover,” or “in addition.”

The term is formed from the demonstrative pronoun ez (this) plus the elements en and felül, with the sense of “on top of this.” Ezenfelül is typically placed at the beginning of a clause or sentence; when used mid-sentence, a comma often follows it. In everyday speech, alternatives like emellett or továbbá may be preferred, but ezenfelül carries a somewhat more formal or literary tone.

Examples illustrate its use: A vizsgálat megbízható eredményeket hozott; ezenfelül további vizsgálatokra van szükség. Ezenfelül a környezeti hatások jelentősen csökkentek. A szervezet szerint ezenfelül is fontos lépéseket kell tenni a jövőben. Synonyms and closely related connectors include emellett, továbbá, és mellett, which convey similar additive meaning in varying degrees of formality.
