Semlegesebb

Semlegesebb is a comparative form of the Hungarian adjective semleges, meaning more neutral or less biased. It denotes a higher degree of neutrality in attitudes, statements, or presentations. The word is formed by adding the comparative suffix -ebb/-abb to semleges, following standard Hungarian vowel harmony. The superlative form is legsemlegesebb, meaning most neutral.

In usage, semlegesebb describes qualities such as tone, wording, or perspective that aim for impartiality. It is commonly employed in media criticism, political discourse, design, and communication to indicate a shift toward greater objectivity. For example: "Ez a szerkesztői álláspont semlegesebb a korábbi megközelítésnél." or "A közlemény semlegesebb hangnemet üt meg." The comparison is typically articulated with mint: "ez a válasz semlegesebb, mint az előző."

Nuanced differences may arise in practice. Semlegesebb does not guarantee absolute neutrality; it often signals a perceived reduction of bias or a more balanced presentation, which can be contingent on context, audience interpretation, and standards of objectivity. In linguistic terms, semlegesebb is part of the common Hungarian system of comparative adjectives and coexists with related concepts such as semlegesség (neutrality) and neutrális/neutral stance in borrowed terminology.
