Harmadlagosak

Harmadlagosak is a Hungarian term that functions as the plural of harmadlagos, an adjective meaning "tertiary" or "third-order." In Hungarian, harmadlagosak can refer to entities that occupy the third level in a classification, layer, or hierarchy. Because Hungarian uses context to determine exact meaning, harmadlagosak has no single universal definition; its precise sense depends on the field and the scheme it describes.

In scholarly and technical writing the term is typically used when the author has defined a three-tier system with primary, secondary, and tertiary levels, and harmadlagosak denotes the members of the tertiary level. The term can apply to various domains, such as data organization, social-scientific classifications, or descriptive inventories, wherever a three-layer structure is employed. In many contexts, however, more common expressions like third-order, tertiary-level, or harmadik szint may be preferred to avoid ambiguity.

The use of harmadlagosak is therefore largely contextual and depends on explicit definitions provided by the text in which it appears. See also harmadlagos, harmadlagos kifejezés, and harmadik szint.
