Valuálnak

Valuálnak is a Hungarian neologism used primarily in informal or online discourse to describe the act of assigning value to objects, ideas, or digital assets. The term is formed from the English noun value, combined with the Hungarian verb-formation suffix -ál- and the plural present tense ending -nak, producing a sense akin to “they value” or “they are valuing.” It is not part of standard Hungarian dictionaries and is not widely used in formal writing.

Origins of valuálnak are informal; it emerged in online and startup communities where English loanwords are blended into everyday Hungarian. It functions more as a stylistic or topical shorthand than as an official grammatical item, and its acceptability varies by speaker and context.

In usage, valuálnak is often employed to stress the dynamic, subjective, or market-driven nature of valuation, particularly in discussions of digital economies, products, or ideas. Examples in casual language might include phrases like “A platform valuálnak a felhasználói interakciókból” or “A tokenek értékét valuálják a piaci trendek alapján.” Speakers who prefer official terminology typically use értékelik or értékelés instead.
