Higiénikusabbak

Higiénikusabbak is the plural form of the Hungarian comparative adjective higiénikusabb, meaning “more hygienic.” It is used to compare two or more items, highlighting that they have a higher level of hygiene. The base adjective higiénikus describes something relating to hygiene, and the comparative suffix -abb turns it into higiénikusabb. When referring to several items, the plural ending -ak is added, yielding higiénikusabbak. The form agrees with a plural subject or can function predicatively after a linking verb, as in Ez a készülék higiénikusabbak, or commonly: Ezek higiénikusabbak a többi terméknél.

Etymology and usage: higiénikus derives from the concept of hygiene, with the comparative higiénikusabb formed by adding -abb, a standard pattern for Hungarian adjectives. The plural -ak attaches for nominative plural usage, producing higiénikusabbak. The term appears in consumer descriptions, health and safety discussions, medical contexts, and everyday language when contrasting the cleanliness or hygiene of multiple objects, spaces, or practices.

Common contexts: product labeling and evaluation (e.g., comparing cleaning products, sanitizing devices), healthcare and hospital settings (comparing equipment or procedures by hygiene level), media and consumer commentary when ranking items by cleanliness.
