Többmilliós

Többmilliós is a Hungarian adjective used to describe quantities, values, or scales that lie in the multi-million range, i.e., more than one million. It is commonly used to indicate that something is substantial in financial, numerical, or statistical terms, without specifying an exact amount. Examples include „többmilliós bevétel” (multi-million revenue), „többmilliós ár” (multi-million price), or „többmilliós beruházás” (multi-million investment). The term is frequent in media, business, and public discourse when a figure is large but not precisely quantified.

Etymology and form: The word is a compound formed from töb(b) meaning “more” and milliós, itself derived from millió meaning “million,” with the -os suffix creating an adjective meaning “pertaining to millions.” The standard spelling is a closed compound: többlmilliós or többmilliós? The conventional form in contemporary Hungarian is többmilliós as a single word, though some writers may use hyphenation in stylistic variants.

Usage and nuance: Többmilliós signals scale and emphasis more than a simple milliós figure. It conveys that the amount is substantial enough to be described as belonging to the millions, often implying significance or impact. It is typically placed before the noun it modifies, e.g., „többmilliós közbeszerzési szerződés” (multi-million procurement contract), „többmilliós adósság” (multi-million debt).

Limitations: The exact threshold for what counts as multi-million is context-dependent and not fixed. The term is qualitative and qualitative emphasis rather than a precise numeric value.
