Tízezerszeres

Tízezerszeres is a Hungarian adjective that literally means “thousand‑fold” or “times a thousand.” It is formed from the number tízezer (thousand) and the suffix –szeres, which denotes multiplication or repetition. The word is used to describe a proportional increase, decrease, or magnitude that is a thousand times that of a reference value.

In everyday Hungarian, tízezerszeres is most commonly found in phrases such as tízezerszeres növekedés (a thousand‑fold increase), tízezerszeres csökkenés (a thousand‑fold decrease), or tízezerszeres megtérülés (a thousand‑fold return). These expressions can appear in financial reports, scientific papers, and general discourse when emphasizing a dramatic change. The adjective can also directly modify nouns, for example tízezerszeres erő (a thousand‑fold force) or tízezerszeres ár (a thousand‑fold price).

In technical contexts, tízezerszeres is frequently used to denote scaling factors in mathematics, physics, or engineering, such as tízezerszeres skálázás (thousand‑fold scaling). It can also appear in comparative contexts where two quantities are compared, e.g., “a második mérőszám tízezerszeres nagyobb” (the second measurement is ten thousand times larger).

The English equivalent of tízezerszeres is “thousandfold.” While the Hungarian form is not always directly translated in every sentence, translators typically render the meaning as “thousand‑times” or “thousand‑fold” to preserve the sense of a multiple of one thousand. This term thus serves as a concise lexical tool for expressing large multiplicative relationships in Hungarian.
