Szerkezetekként

Szerkezetekként is a Hungarian grammatical form that means “as structures.” It is the plural instrumental form of the noun szerkezet (structure) and is built from szerkezetek (the plural) plus the instrumental suffix -ként. The combination results in the written form szerkezetekként, with a doubled k due to the consonant assimilation between the plural ending and the suffix.

Usage and meaning. The word indicates that something is being viewed, treated, or used in the role of multiple structures. It often appears in academic or technical writing when discussing models, analyses, classifications, or comparisons in which elements are considered as different structures rather than as single units. It functions as a post-nominal phrase marking manner, function, or perspective, similar to other Hungarian instrumental forms.

Typical contexts. In linguistics, computer science, engineering, or architecture, one might speak of systems or datasets being modeled or interpreted “szerkezetekként.” Examples include: “A vizsgált adatsorokat különböző szerkezetekként modellezik,” meaning the data series are modeled as different structures; or “A koncepciót szerkezetekként értelmezik a kutatók.” The singular counterpart is szerkezetként; szerkezetekként is used when multiple structures are involved.

Etymology and form. The term derives from szerkezet plus the plural ending -ek and the instrumental suffix -ként. The orthography shows a double k: szerkezetekként, a jelölés jelzi az összeolvadó konsonánsokat. This form is primarily found in formal, technical, or analytical prose.
