Tartósan

Tartósan is a Hungarian adverb meaning “durably, persistently, or over a long period.” It describes the manner or duration of an action, indicating that something persists or has a lasting effect rather than a temporary one.

Formation and usage: The adverb is formed from the adjective tartós (lasting, durable) by adding the adverbial suffix -an, yielding tartósan. It typically modifies verbs, clauses, or adjectives to convey sustained or long-term quality. It is common in formal or written Hungarian, including policy reports and descriptive prose.

Examples illustrate its typical sense of persistence or long-term effect. A beruházás tartósan növelte a gazdasági növekedést. (The investment sustained economic growth over the long term.) A gyógyszer tartósan enyhítette a tüneteket. (The medicine provided lasting relief of the symptoms.) Ő tartósan jó teljesítményt nyújtott a szezonban. (He delivered sustained good performance during the season.)

Etymology: Tartósan is derived from tartós, meaning lasting or durable, with the adverbial suffix -an added to form an adverb that expresses manner or duration. The construction follows standard Hungarian patterns for creating adverbs from adjectives.
