Mindkétben

Mindkétben is a Hungarian colloquial term that translates roughly to "in both" or "in either" and is used to indicate a choice between two options, or to refer to something that applies to both of two mentioned things. It is a contraction of the words "mind" (all/both) and "kettőben" (in two). The term is informal and commonly used in everyday conversation.

For example, if someone is asking whether you prefer coffee or tea, and you like both, you might respond with "mindkétben" to indicate your equal preference. Similarly, if a rule applies to two different situations, one might say the rule is "mindkétben" enforced. The usage implies that the subject in question is not exclusive to one option but encompasses both.

The term's flexibility allows it to be used in various contexts, from personal preferences to general statements of inclusivity. It is a concise way to express that something pertains to, or is true for, two alternatives simultaneously. Its informal nature means it is less likely to appear in formal writing or academic discourse, but it remains a frequent and useful expression in spoken Hungarian.
