Szintén

Szintén is a Hungarian adverb meaning “also,” “likewise,” or “as well.” It is used to add information to a statement or to express agreement with a preceding clause. The word can introduce a parallel assertion or modify a verb phrase, and its placement varies for emphasis, often appearing before the verb or at the beginning of a clause.

Etymology: Szintén is formed from szint, meaning level or degree, with the suffix -én. Historically it carried the sense of doing something to the same degree, and over time it developed a broader meaning of inclusion or addition in contemporary Hungarian.

Usage: Szintén is relatively formal and common in written Hungarian, journalism, and academic language. In everyday speech, speakers frequently use the shorter particle is (or a simple repetition) to signal addition. It can occur at the start of a sentence for emphasis or directly before the verb phrase: Szintén szeretnék hozzászólni. Ő szintén megérkezett.

Examples:

- Ő szintén megérkezett. (He also arrived.)

- Szintén szeretnék hozzászólni. (I would also like to comment.)

- A dolgozat célja a kifejtés, és szintén a módszertan világos bemutatása. (The aim of the paper is the elucidation, and also the clear presentation of the methodology.)
