Tervezettnél

Tervezettnél is a Hungarian grammatical form used in comparative constructions to express a deviation from a plan or proposal. It comes from the noun tervezet (plan, draft) and carries the meaning “than the plan” or “than was planned.” The suffix -nél marks a comparative reference to that standard.

In practice, tervezettnél is used to compare actual results with what was scheduled or expected. It often accompanies adjectives or numerical expressions to indicate that something is higher, lower, or otherwise different than the plan. Examples include phrases like “tervezettnél magasabb költségek” (costs higher than planned) or “tervezettnél kevesebb idő” (less time than planned). The form is common in project management, budgeting, and official reporting, where precise deviation from the original plan must be stated.

Grammatically, tervezettnél functions as a postpositional modifier that links the comparison to the base standard “the plan.” It is distinct from tervezett, which is an adjective meaning “planned,” and from other forms derived from tervezet. Tervezettnél cannot stand alone; it requires a comparative element to complete the sense of deviation.

Notes on usage: while tervezettnél is standard in formal Hungarian, speakers may prefer alternative phrasings in casual contexts. The construction is flexible enough to combine with a wide range of modifiers, making it a useful tool for reporting variances against a predefined plan.
