Funkcionálisak

Funkcionálisak is a Hungarian word-form: it is the plural of the adjective funkcionális, meaning functional. In standard Hungarian, the form functions as an adjective and is not commonly used as a standalone noun. When it appears as a noun, it is informal or nonstandard and would typically be replaced by a more precise term such as funkcionalisták to denote people who advocate or apply functionalism, or by phrases describing a functional approach.

In academic and professional contexts, the concept associated with function is usually expressed with other terms rather than the noun funkcionálisak. Phrases like funkcionális szemlélet (functional mindset), funkcionális megközelítés (functional approach), or funkcionaliszmus (functionalism) are preferred. The adjective funkcionális is widely used in compound forms to describe aspects, methods, or systems that prioritize function over form, such as funkcionális dizájn (functional design), funkcionális tesztelés (functional testing), or funkcionális diagnosztika (functional diagnostics) in medicine and biology.

The term funkcionálisak, due to its rarity and informality, is not typical in formal Hungarian writing. When referring to the proponents of a functionalist doctrine, writers generally use funkcionalisták or specify the particular functionalist tradition. In everyday language, funkcionálisak may appear in lists or headings as a shorthand, but it is not a standard or widely recognized label.
