Szokásosnak

Szokásosnak is the dative singular form of the Hungarian adjective szokásos, meaning usual or customary. In Hungarian, the suffix -nak/-nek is used to form a dative or to mark a dependent phrase that interacts with postpositional expressions. The form szokásosnak appears especially in fixed constructions such as szokásosnak megfelelően, szokásosnak nevezett, and szokásosnak tűnő, where it serves to mean “in accordance with what is usual,” “the one commonly called usual,” or “appearing as usual.”

Common constructions and meanings:

- szokásosnak megfelelően means “in accordance with the usual” or “as is customary.” Example: A tervet a szokásosnak megfelelően hajtották végre. (They carried out the plan as usual.)

- szokásosnak nevezett means “called the usual” or “referred to as the usual.” Example: A szokásosnak nevezett eljárást alkalmazták. (They applied the procedure commonly called the usual one.)

- szokásosnak tűnő means “appearing as usual” or “seeming usual.” Example: Szokásosnak tűnő hibákat találtak. (They found errors that seemed usual.)

Etymology and usage:

- The word derives from szokás (habit, custom) plus the suffix -os to form szokásos (usual). The -nak suffix marks the word for use with postpositional phrases and grammatical constructions that express comparison, accordance, or attribution.

- szokásosnak is primarily found in formal or written contexts, including journalism, reports, and official prose. It is less common in everyday informal speech.
