Impresszívabb

Impresszívabb is a Hungarian adjective in its comparative degree, used to indicate a higher level of impressiveness than something else. It translates roughly as “more impressive” in English and is employed to compare objects, performances, events, or descriptions. The word can appear in everyday speech as well as in media, criticism, and marketing when a relative assessment is intended.

Origin and formation: Impresszívabb is formed from the base adjective impresszív, which is a loanword adapted into Hungarian from the English word impressive. The comparative is created by adding the suffix -abb to the base form: impresszív + -abb → impresszívabb. Like other comparatives in Hungarian, it functions to modify nouns or statements that describe degree rather than absolute quality.

Usage and notes: The term is common in discussions of arts, performances, design, or presentation where one element stands out more than another. It can appear with different intensities or in combination with further modifiers, for example emphasizing that something is “considerably more impressive” or “even more impressive.” In more precise or technical contexts, speakers might opt for alternatives such as látványosabb or hatásosabb to convey specific aspects of impressiveness. See also impresszív, the base form from which impresszívabb is derived.
