Realisztikusan

Realisztikusan is a Hungarian adverb meaning “in a realistic manner” or “realistically.” It is the adverbial form derived from the adjective realisztikus, which means realistic, plausible, or faithful to reality.

Etymology and formation: The adjective realisztikus comes from realisztika (realism) and the suffix -ikus; the adverb is formed by adding the suffix -an to create realisztikusan. In Hungarian, adverbs of manner often end in -an/-en/-ön, and -ikusan is the standard form for adjectives ending in -ikus.

Usage: Realisztikusan describes the manner of depiction, analysis, or execution that aims at plausibility and fidelity to observable reality. It is common in film criticism, literature, visual arts, and design. Examples: “A film realisztikusan ábrázolja a háború hatásait.” “A tervezők realisztikusan közelítették meg a költségvetést.” “A színész realisztikusan játszik.” For nuance, valósághűen is used as a synonym, but realisztikusan emphasizes a realistic approach rather than mere accuracy.

Nuance and related terms: Realisztikus (adjective) and valósághűen (adverb) are closely related; élethűen is a related term meaning “lifelike.” Realisztikusan typically appears in formal or semi-formal contexts describing representation, portrayal, or methodological approaches.
