Megjegyzésként

Megjegyzésként is a Hungarian adverbial noun form meaning "as a remark" or "for the record." It is built from the noun megjegyzés (remark, note) plus the suffix -ként, which marks a role or function, indicating that what follows should be taken as a note rather than as a central assertion. In Hungarian, -ként is used to express function, status, or role, as in vendégként (as a guest) or vezetőként (as a leader); megjegyzésként serves a similar grammatical function for a remark or note.

Usage and nuance: the phrase is commonly placed at the beginning of a sentence to frame the subsequent content as a side remark. It can also appear mid-sentence as a parenthetical frame. The tone is typically formal or semi-formal, and it is frequently found in official writing, such as reports, meeting minutes, and academic texts, but it can also appear in professional correspondence when a contributor wishes to hedge a statement by presenting it as a remark.

Examples:

- Megjegyzésként felhívom a figyelmet arra, hogy a határidő módosult.

- Megjegyzésként szeretném hozzátenni, hogy a módszer alapelvei egyébként nem tisztázottak teljes mértékben.

Etymology and form: megjegyzés derives from jegyez (to note) with meg- as a prefix, forming a noun meaning a note or remark; the suffix -ként converts it into a role/type marker—“as a remark.” The expression is neutral and concise, suitable for contexts where one wants to defer emphasis or classify a statement as ancillary.
