Leírásakor

Leírásakor is a Hungarian adverbial noun meaning “at the time of the description” or “during the description.” It is formed from leírás (description) plus the temporal suffix -kor, which marks time reference in a noun. It functions as a temporal adjunct in sentences, indicating when an action takes place in relation to what is being described. The form is most often used in written Hungarian and in formal or descriptive prose.

In usage, leírásakor denotes simultaneity: it points to the period during which a description occurs, or the circumstances surrounding it. It can head a clause or appear within a larger noun phrase. In everyday speech, speakers often prefer leírás közben or a leírás során, which convey similar meaning and may be more natural conversationally.

Grammatically, leírásakor is not a finite verb; it is a noun with a temporal suffix functioning as a time adverbial. It may appear at the start of a sentence or within a clause and is commonly followed by a main clause describing what happens during that time.

Examples:

- A leírásakor a narrátor részletesen leírta a környezetet. (During the description, the narrator described the environment in detail.)

- A leírásakor a kutatók feljegyezték a megfigyelt jelenségeket. (During the description, the researchers recorded the observed phenomena.)
