Sokoldalúan

Sokoldalúan is a Hungarian adverb meaning “in a versatile, multifaceted, or multi-angled manner; in many respects.” It describes actions or approaches that take multiple aspects, criteria, or viewpoints into account.

Etymology and form: The adverb is derived from the adjective sokoldalú, meaning multifaceted or versatile. It is formed with the adverbial suffix -úan, yielding sokoldalúan. The term is commonly used in formal or descriptive writing to emphasize breadth and adaptability.

Usage: Sokoldalúan is used to describe the manner in which actions are performed or analyses conducted. Examples include: "A kutató sokoldalúan közelítette meg a kérdést," meaning the researcher approached the question from multiple angles; "A projektet sokoldalúan finanszírozták," indicating funding from several sources; and "A tanulmány sokoldalúan vizsgálta a jelenséget," referring to a study that examined the phenomenon across different aspects.

Nuance and relation to other terms: Sokoldalúan conveys breadth and adaptability, often signaling a deliberate, cross-cutting approach. It is closely related to the adjective sokoldalú (multifaceted) and to phrases like minden szempontból, which can express a similar idea in a less compact form. While sokoldalúan is common in academic, analytical, or formal discourse, it may sound stiff in informal speech.
