Olyanként

Olyanként is a Hungarian word that translates to "as such" or "as such a one" in English. It functions as an adverbial phrase or a predicative complement, referring back to a previously mentioned person, thing, or state of being. The word is formed from the demonstrative pronoun "olyan," meaning "such" or "like that," combined with the suffix "-ként," which denotes a role, capacity, or manner.

It can also be used to describe a state, such as "The situation remained olyanként as it was," meaning the situation stayed the same. The precise English translation often depends on the context of the sentence, but the core meaning revolves around the idea of "in that capacity" or "in that manner." It is a common and useful phrase in Hungarian grammar for adding nuance and specificity to descriptions.
