Kultúránként

Kultúránként is a magyar adverb, formed from kultúra (culture) and a suffix -ként, and it is used to express variation or analysis that is tied to different cultures. The term signals that a statement, behavior, or phenomenon is the result of cultural factors and may differ when viewed from another culture. In sociolinguistic, anthropological or cross-cultural contexts, kultúránként is employed to frame comparisons and avoid universalizing conclusions.

Usage and nuance

Kultúránként is commonly used to describe differences in norms, practices or interpretations across cultural groups. It can accompany verbs, adjectives or nouns to qualify a claim, for example: kultúránként eltérő étkezési szokások (eating customs differ per culture), kultúránkénti értelmezés (culture-specific interpretation). The phrase supports cautious, relativist analyses that acknowledge contextual factors without imputing a single universal standard.

Relation to related concepts

The expression is frequently found alongside terms like interkulturális, kultúrközi vagy kulturális relativizmus, which address cross-cultural understanding, cross-cultural comparison and the idea that meanings are shaped by cultural context. It is used in academic writing, policy discussions and educational materials to improve cultural sensitivity and avoid overgeneralization.

Limitations

As with any culture-based formulation, kultúránként should be applied carefully to avoid stereotyping or essentializing groups. Clear definitions of the cultures involved and transparent methodology bolster the precision of statements that use the term.
