Literenkénti

Literenkénti is a Hungarian attributive adjective formed from the noun liter (liter) and the suffix -enkénti. It denotes a rate or amount calculated for each liter of a substance or container. In usage, it is commonly translated into English as "per liter" and appears in contexts such as pricing, labeling, or statistical descriptions.

In Hungarian, -enkénti expresses "per" and attaches to the noun it modifies. The form agrees with the noun in number and case, and it is placed before the noun it describes, for example literenkénti ár (price per liter), literenkénti energiafogyasztás (energy consumption per liter), or literenkénti szén-dioxid-kibocsátás (carbon dioxide emissions per liter). The construction can be pluralized to literenkénti árak, literenkénti mutatók, etc., as required by the surrounding grammar.

Common contexts for literenkénti usage include consumer labeling, price comparisons, and environmental or nutritional statistics. It is frequently seen on product labels to indicate value per unit of volume, on reports comparing liquids by their per-liter cost, or in environmental assessments that express emissions or energy metrics per liter. The term is part of a broader Hungarian convention of per-unit expressions, which also extends to other units such as kilogramonkénti (per kilogram).
