Mérföldenkénti

Mérföldenkénti is a Hungarian word that translates to "per mile" in English. It is used to describe a rate or quantity measured in relation to a distance of one mile. This term is commonly encountered in contexts where fuel consumption, speed, or other metrics are expressed on a per-mile basis. For example, a car's fuel efficiency might be stated as "liters per 100 kilometers," and a similar concept exists in English using miles, such as "miles per gallon." Mérföldenkénti functions similarly, indicating how much of something occurs or is consumed over a single mile.

The usage of "mérföldenkénti" is most prevalent in countries that still utilize the mile as a standard unit of distance, primarily the United States. In contexts where kilometers are the standard, the equivalent phrasing would relate to "per kilometer." The word itself is formed by combining "mérföld" (mile) and the suffix "-enkénti," which signifies "per" or "each." This grammatical construction allows for precise expression of per-unit measurements. Understanding "mérföldenkénti" is key to interpreting various statistical data and specifications presented in Hungarian, particularly those related to transportation and travel.
