Hozzátevve

Hozzátevve is a Hungarian word that translates to "adding" or "furthermore" in English. It is commonly used as a conjunction or adverb to introduce additional information, clauses, or ideas. The word is derived from the verb "hozzátenni," which means "to add."

In Hungarian grammar, "hozzátevve" functions similarly to phrases like "in addition," "moreover," or "also" in English. It serves to connect a new piece of information to what has already been stated, often to elaborate on a point, provide further evidence, or introduce a related but distinct idea. For example, if someone is listing reasons for a decision, they might use "hozzátevve" to introduce another supporting reason.

The precise nuance of "hozzátevve" can vary depending on the context. It can indicate a simple addition of facts, a more emphatic emphasis on a subsequent point, or a smooth transition between related topics. Its versatility makes it a frequent element in both spoken and written Hungarian. The word is composed of the prefix "hozzá-" (meaning "to," "towards," or "along with") and the past participle of "tenni" (to put or place). This etymology directly reflects its meaning of placing something further into an existing context.
