Részbeni

Részbeni is a Hungarian adjective used to describe something that relates to or concerns only a part of a whole. It expresses that the subject is limited in scope, extent, or knowledge rather than complete. The term is commonly found in formal, technical, or analytical contexts, where partiality or partial significance needs to be emphasized.

Etymology and form: részbeni is derived from the noun rész, meaning part, with the derivational suffix -beni, which forms adjectives indicating relation to or belonging to something. The word is typically placed before the noun it modifies, as in részbeni bizonyíték (partial evidence) or részbeni felelősség (partial responsibility). It can also appear in phrases such as részbeni adatok alapján (based on partial data).

Usage and nuance: részbeni conveys a specific limitations in scope or completeness that is more about the relation to a part of a larger whole than about a simple shortfall in amount. It tends to be used in contexts where the focus is on partial aspects, partial understanding, or partial effects. In everyday language, a similar idea is often expressed with részleges, which more plainly means incomplete in extent; részbeni adds a nuance of belonging to a part of something larger.

Examples: részbeni adatok alapján, a kutatás részbeni eredményeket mutat; részbeni megértés miatt nem lehetett teljes következtetést levonni; a megállapodás részbeni teljesítése még folyamatban van.
