Selektívebb

Selektívebb is the comparative form of the Hungarian adjective selektív, meaning “more selective.” It is used to describe something that applies stricter criteria or shows a higher degree of selectivity than another item, process, or outcome. The term appears in neutral, technical, or formal contexts such as research design, data filtering, hiring practices, or decision-making processes that exercise greater selectivity.

In usage, selektívebb conveys a relative increase in selectivity. It can modify methods, criteria, or results to indicate tighter filtering, narrower scope, or more carefully chosen options. Examples include algorithms that perform selektívebb szűrés (more selective filtering) or a selection process described as selektívebb than before.

Etymology and form: the word derives from the Hungarian adjective selektív, borrowed from Latin selectivus. The comparative is formed by adding a suffix to express greater degree, yielding selektívebb. This form is common in written Hungarian and in discussions that require precise description of comparative selectivity.

Usage notes: selektívebb is typically found in neutral or technical prose. In everyday speech, speakers might opt for more general expressions of increased selectivity, depending on context and audience. The term helps distinguish levels of rigor or discrimination among options, criteria, or data.
