Tanulásakor

Tanulásakor is a Hungarian temporal expression formed from the noun tanulás (learning) and the suffix -kor, which marks the moment in time. It literally means “at the time of learning” or “during the learning process.” The form is written as a single word: tanuláskor. It functions as an adverbial time indicator, used to situate an action within the period when learning occurs.

Usage and nuances: Tanulásakor signals that something happens during the act of learning, often referring to a defined or specific learning period. It is somewhat formal or literary; in everyday language, speakers may opt for tanulás közben or tanulás alatt, which carry slightly different nuances. Tanulás közben emphasizes simultaneity within an ongoing activity, while tanulás alatt stresses the duration of the learning period. Tanuláskor therefore highlights the time window associated with studying, rather than a general or routine moment.

Examples:

- Tanulásakor a diákok figyelnek a tanár magyarázatára.

- A tananyag megértését tanuláskor gyakran összegzik a hallgatók.

- Tanuláskor kerülni kell a zavaró tényezőket, hogy hatékony legyen a munka.

Etymology and related forms: The word combines tanulás (learning) with the temporal suffix -kor, a common Hungarian mechanism for signaling a specific time moment. Related expressions that can convey similar meaning with different nuance include tanulás közben and tanulás alatt.
