Hangosan

Hangosan is a Hungarian adverb meaning "loudly" or "in a loud manner." It is derived from the noun hang ("sound") with the adjectival suffix -os to form hangos ("loud"), and the adverbial suffix -an to produce hangosan. As an adverb, it modifies verbs, clauses, or entire sentences to indicate volume or prominence of sound.

In grammar, hangosan behaves like other Hungarian adverbs formed with -an/-en, and it does not decline for case. It commonly appears with verbs of speaking, music, or noise: for example, "Beszélj hangosan, kérlek" ("Please speak loudly") or "A zene túl hangosan szól" ("The music is playing too loudly"). The antonym is halkan ("quietly"), and related terms include hang (sound) and zajosan ("noisily").

Pronunciation in standard Hungarian is approximately [ˈhɒŋɡoʃɒn]. Usage ranges from everyday spoken Hungarian to formal writing when describing sound level, emphasis, or figurative prominence. Hangosan can also appear in idiomatic expressions or titles in media and literature to convey intensity or attention.

Understanding hangosan is useful for learners of Hungarian when adjusting register and volume in speech or when describing auditory qualities in narrative and descriptive contexts.
