Területileg

Területileg is a Hungarian adverb used to express scope or relevance tied to a territory, geographic region, or jurisdiction. It is derived from the noun terület (territory, area) with the adverbial suffix -ileg, yielding a formal way to indicate geographic extent rather than time, manner, or other dimensions. The term is common in official, legal, administrative, and planning texts, as well as in statistical reports that distinguish data by geographic area.

Usage of területileg typically appears in phrases that specify territorial applicability or competence. For example, területileg hatályos means “in force in the specified territory,” and területileg illetékes hatóság refers to the authority with territorial jurisdiction. In analysis or reporting, one can find references to data being területileg megosztott (divided by territory) or területileg azonosított (territory-identifiable). The word helps contrast geographic scope with other axes such as time (időben) or method (módszeresen).

Etymology and related terms: területileg comes from terület with the suffix -ileg forming an adverb. Related words include területi (territorial, as an adjective), földrajzi/ földrajzilag (geographical/geomatically), and helyileg (locally). While területileg emphasizes geographic scope, its usage tends to be formal or technical, and in everyday language speakers might use more common phrases such as földrajzi szerint or hely szerint to convey similar ideas.
