Mérséklési

Mérséklési is a Hungarian adjectival form derived from the noun mérséklés, meaning reduction, moderation or mitigation. It functions as a modifier that describes actions, policies, or effects intended to reduce negative consequences, lower a value, or moderate intensity. In technical and formal language, mérséklési is commonly found before nouns in phrases such as mérséklési intézkedések (mitigation measures), mérséklési célok (reduction targets), or mérséklési hatások (mitigating effects).

Usage notes: The term is typical of policy, environmental, economic, and risk-management discourse. In everyday language, speakers may prefer synonyms such as csökkentés (decrease) or enyhítés (alleviation). The form mérséklési is normally used attributively rather than predicatively.

Origin: The adjective is formed from mérséklés, which itself comes from the verb mérsékelni (to moderate, reduce). The suffix -i indicates a relation to the abstract noun, yielding a modifier akin to “mitigation-” or “reduction-” in English.

Contexts: Mérséklési concepts appear in discussions of environmental policy (mérséklési intézkedések a kibocsátások vonatkozásában), economic regulation (mérséklési intézkedések a költségvetésben), and risk management (mérséklési stratégiák a károk megelőzésére). The term conveys a gradual or targeted reduction rather than a complete elimination.
