Variálunk

Variálunk is a Hungarian verb form meaning “we vary” or “we are varying.” It is the first-person plural present tense of variálni, the verb used to express altering, modifying, or diversifying something by applying different variants or configurations. In everyday language as well as technical contexts, variálni denotes the act of exploring multiple options rather than making a single change.

Etymology and usage context: Variálni is a Hungarian neologism built from the noun variáció (variation), which derives from Latin variatio. The term is widely used across disciplines such as statistics, design, computing, and media, but it also appears in ordinary speech when people talk about trying different alternatives. The form variálunk indicates a collective, ongoing action of variation.

Common usage patterns: Variálunk is typically paired with an object that is being varied, or with a description of the variation process. For example: “Variálunk néhány beállítást a menüben” (We vary a few settings in the menu), or “A tervet variáljuk, hogy megtaláljuk a legjobb megoldást” (We vary the plan to find the best solution). The sense is often one of exploring multiple variants rather than executing a single modification. It sits alongside related verbs such as változtatunk and módosítunk, with variálás emphasizing the exploration of several options.

Related terms: variálás (the act of varying), variáció (variation), variálható (capable of varying).
