Hasonlók

Hasonlók is a Hungarian term used as a plural noun referring to items or cases that resemble each other. It is the plural form of the substantive use of the adjective hasonló, which means similar or comparable. In practice, hasonlók denotes things that share a resemblance or likeness in some respect. The term is relatively rare in everyday speech and is more common in linguistic, lexicographic, or analytical writing, where a writer groups instances as hasonlók.

Etymology and form: hasonlók is derived from the adjective hasonló with the plural suffix -k, creating a nominal form that can function as the subject or object in a sentence. The base hasonló comes from the stem hason-, meaning to resemble or be alike, with the typical Hungarian adjective suffix -ló indicating a quality or relation.

Usage: In formal or analytical contexts, hasonlók can refer to a set of items that share similarities to a reference item or to other items in a list. It is common to contrast hasonlók with a reference or with non-hasonlók to highlight differences or classifications. Example: "A tanulmány a hasonlók közötti eltéréseket vizsgálja."
