Konvencionális

Konvencionális is a Hungarian adjective meaning conventional, standard, or traditional, describing practices, forms, or ideas that are generally accepted and align with established norms. It marks something as ordinary or widely used rather than novel, experimental, or unconventional. The term is common across many domains, including everyday speech, arts, science, and industry, where it serves to distinguish standard methods from innovative or nonconforming approaches.

Etymology: The word is borrowed from French conventionnel (and via German konventionell), from Latin conventio, meaning agreement or convention. In Hungarian, konvencionális is formed with the -ális suffix to produce an adjective describing conformity to convention.

Usage and contexts: In medicine, konvencionális terápia refers to standard, evidence-based treatment following clinical guidelines, in contrast to experimental or alternative therapies. In agriculture, konvencionális gazdálkodás denotes farming that uses conventional inputs such as synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, as opposed to organic farming. In culture and media, konvencionális forms describe traditional or mainstream expressions, as opposed to avant-garde or disruptive approaches.

See also: konvenció, konvencionális fegyverek, organikus gazdálkodás. The term is often contrasted with nem konvencionális (non-conventional) or alternatív, depending on the domain and context.
