Fokozottabban

Fokozottabban is a Hungarian adverb meaning “more intensively” or “in a more heightened manner.” It is the comparative adverbial form derived from the adjective fokozott (intensified) and is used to indicate a higher degree of intensity, frequency, or emphasis in relation to the action described by a verb.

Formation and usage: The base adjective fokozott combines with the comparative suffix -abb to form fokozottabb, and the adverbial suffix -an/-en/-on/-ön is applied to produce fokozottabban. As an adverb of manner, it typically appears in formal, descriptive, or technical writing to stress increased intensity. In everyday speech, speakers often prefer simpler expressions such as meg inkább or még erősebben.

Examples:

- A vizsgálatot fokozottabban végezték el, hogy részletesebben megfigyelhessék a jelenséget. (The study was conducted more intensively to observe the phenomenon in greater detail.)

- A rendszer fokozottabban reagált a bemenetre, amikor a terhelés nőtt. (The system responded more intensively to the input as the load increased.)

- A körülmények fokozottabban befolyásolták a döntést. (The conditions more strongly influenced the decision.)

Etymology and related forms: Fokozottabban comes from fokozott, with the comparative suffix -abb and the adverbial -an/-en ending. Related forms include fokozott (adj) and fokozottan (adverb meaning “in an intensified manner”). In contrast, fokozottabban is used to emphasize a greater degree of intensity.
