Párosonként

Párosonként is a Hungarian adverb and, in its attributive form párosonkénti, an expression meaning per pair or for each pair. It is used to convey a rate, distribution, or quantity normalized to two-person units, i.e., when the basic counting unit is a couple or a paired unit rather than a single item.

Formation and usage notes

The term is formed from a root related to páros or pár (paired, in two) combined with the suffix -onként, which yields the meaning “per.” Párosonkénti is the corresponding adjective form used before a noun, for example párosonkénti költség (cost per pair), párosonkénti ár (price per pair), or párosonkénti átlag (average per pair). In sentences, párosonként often accompanies numerals or quantifiable expressions to specify measurements in two-person units. It is commonly contrasted with per-person (személyenként) or per-piece (darabonként) when the natural unit is not a pair.

Typical contexts

Párosonként is used in statistics, economics, logistics, and research reporting when data are aggregated by couples, pairs, or two-person units. It helps to express values such as costs, yields, or frequencies on a two-person basis. The form remains neutral and precise, suitable for technical writing as well as informative summaries.

Examples

- A párosonkénti költség két főre számítva 3 000 forint. (The cost per pair for two people is 3,000 forints.)

- A párosonkénti ár 1 darab helyett két személyre vonatkozik.

Related terms include darabonként (per piece) and személyenként (per person). Párosonként is a standard, clear way to indicate two-person units in Hungarian.
