Szervekként

Szervekként is a Hungarian adverbial form derived from the noun szervezet, meaning “organization” or “institution.” The suffix –ként functions as a functional particle indicating role, capacity, or manner, translating roughly to “as” or “in the capacity of.” Consequently, szervekként is used to describe actions or states performed by someone or something in the role of an organization rather than as an individual.

In everyday usage, szervekként appears in contexts where a collective body is acting collectively, for example: “Minden másodszázadban a Választóbizottság szervekként ad ki irányelveket.” Here, the body is identified by its collective function. The form is grammatical and common in formal and official writing, such as legal texts, governmental reports, or correspondence, where the distinction between individual and institutional agency is relevant.

Szervekként is typically intransitive and is not used with a direct object. It is not interchangeable with the plural noun form of szervezet; instead, it specifically signals the abstract capacity of the organization. Related constructions include úrként (as a master), hivatalként (in an official capacity), and családként (as a family). Szervekként can also appear in compound expressions, for instance, „rendvénytári szervekként” (in the capacity of a registrar). Overall, the term is fixed in Hungarian language norms and reflects the language’s precise way of distinguishing role from identity.
