Osztályaként

Osztályaként is a Hungarian phrase formed from the noun osztály, meaning "class" or "category," and the suffix -ként, which marks role or function. The resulting expression translates roughly as "as a class" or "in its capacity as a class." It is used to describe something from the perspective of a particular class or category, rather than as a concrete instance.

Etymology and construction

The construction follows a common Hungarian pattern where -ként attaches to a noun to indicate a role or identity. Osztályaként is therefore a predicative or adverbial form that places the subject within a specified classification. It is related to other -ként forms such as orvostudományként (as a medical science) or művészetként (as an art).

Usage

The phrase appears mainly in formal, technical, or academic contexts, especially in discussions of taxonomy, data classification, philosophy, or systems theory. It enables writers to evaluate or describe a concept, object, or phenomenon by its membership in a class, rather than by its particular instance. Because it emphasizes classification, osztályaként can help frame arguments about similarities, differences, or functions across categories.
