Kihagyva

Kihagyva is a Hungarian adverbial participle formed from the verb kihagyni, meaning to omit or skip. It expresses that something is done while omitting or leaving out other elements, and is often translated as "having omitted" or "omitting" in English.

Grammatical form and function: kihagyva is a határozói igenév (adverbial participle) with the suffix -va/-ve. It usually refers to the same subject as the main clause and serves to describe the manner or circumstances of the action. The typical construction places the participle at the beginning of a sentence, followed by a main clause, separated by a comma, for example: Kihagyva a részleteket, a beszéd rövidebb lett.

Usage: kihagyva is common in formal or written Hungarian and in executive or analytical writing where conciseness is desired. In everyday spoken Hungarian, speakers may opt for explicit clauses using mert, miután, vagy egyszerűen kihagyta, depending on the nuance they want to convey. The adverbial participle can carry a sense of consequence or accompanying circumstance and cannot have a different subject from the main clause without a different grammatical construction.

Examples:

- Kihagyva a részleteket, a beszéd rövidebb lett.

- Kihagyva a nehezebb feladatokat, a diákok több időt kaptak a könnyebbekre.
