Hatásfokúak

Hatásfokúak is the plural form of the Hungarian adjective hatásfokú, used to describe things or people that are effective or efficient in producing the intended result. In technical and everyday language it denotes entities that achieve their goals with a favorable level of efficiency or efficacy. When used as a substantive, hatásfokúak can mean “the effective ones” or “the efficient ones” within a group.

Etymology and form: Hatásfokú is built from hatás (effect) and fok (degree) with the suffix -ú. The plural hatásfokúak is formed by adding -ak, allowing the adjective to function as a noun referring to a group. The term is common in formal or technical contexts and may appear in policy, engineering, or organizational discourse.

Usage: In engineering and economics, hatásfokú describes systems, processes, or components that operate with high efficiency or efficacy. In management or public policy, it can label strategies or programs as efficient or effective. The concept is distinct from hatásos or hatásosság, which emphasize the success of achieving a desired outcome in a particular instance, whereas hatásfokú highlights the degree or rate of achieving the effect relative to input.
