Függvényileg

Függvényileg is a Hungarian adverb that translates to "vertically" or "functionally" in English. Its meaning is context-dependent, stemming from the word "függvény" which means "function" or "dependence."

When used in a spatial sense, "függvényileg" refers to an orientation that is perpendicular to the horizon, like a plumb line. For instance, one might describe a tall building as standing "függvényileg" or a painting hung "függvényileg" on a wall. In this usage, it is synonymous with the English word "vertically."

However, "függvényileg" also carries a more abstract meaning related to function or purpose. In this sense, it describes something that operates or is organized according to its role or task. For example, a team might be structured "függvényileg," meaning each member has a specific responsibility. This usage is closer to the English "functionally." The context of the sentence usually clarifies which meaning is intended. It's important to note that while "vertically" is a direct translation in some cases, the broader sense of "functionally" or "in terms of its function" is also a valid interpretation.
