Példáján

Példáján is a Hungarian word that translates to "by his/her/its example" or "following his/her/its example" in English. It is a possessive form of the word "példa," which means "example." The suffix "-ján" indicates the third-person possessive, singular, and definite case, implying that the example belongs to a specific entity or person.

This phrase is commonly used in Hungarian to describe actions, behaviors, or achievements that serve as a model for others. For instance, one might say "A híres tudósnak a példáján nőttem fel," which translates to "I grew up following the example of the famous scientist." This suggests that the scientist's life and work inspired and guided the speaker's development.

The concept of "példáján" emphasizes the influential nature of an individual or entity. It highlights how others can learn, adapt, or be motivated by observing and emulating the conduct, success, or principles of another. The phrase can be applied to various contexts, including personal role models, historical figures, societal norms, or even the functioning of objects or systems. The effectiveness of following someone's example often depends on the perceived merit, integrity, and positive impact of that example.
