Típuspéldát

Típuspéldát is a Hungarian term that translates directly to "type example" or "exemplar" in English. It refers to a quintessential or representative instance of a particular category, type, or class. In essence, it is an object or concept that perfectly embodies the defining characteristics of the group it belongs to, serving as a benchmark for understanding that group.

The concept of a típuspéldát is employed across various fields. In linguistics, it might be a word that clearly illustrates a grammatical rule or a specific sound. In art, it could be a painting that is considered a definitive representation of a particular artistic movement. In everyday language, a típuspéldát can be used informally to describe something that perfectly fits a certain description, like "that car is a típuspéldát of a classic sports car." The idea is to highlight an instance that is so clear and unambiguous that it helps to define and understand the broader category. It acts as a point of reference, making abstract concepts more tangible and easier to grasp. When something is described as a típuspéldát, it implies it is a perfect, or at least highly accurate, illustration of what that thing is supposed to be like.
