Viszonyítható

Viszonyítható is a Hungarian adjective meaning able to be related to or compared with something else. It is formed from viszony (relation) with the suffix -ítható, which marks potential or capability. In everyday use it is close in sense to összevethető (comparable), but viszonyítható emphasizes the possibility of establishing a specific relation or order rather than a simple side-by-side look.

Usage and contexts

The term appears across mathematics, logic, philosophy, and technical writing, where objects or quantities can be brought into a defined relation. For example, two quantities can be viszonyítható under a chosen comparison or ordering, such as a ≤ b or a:b, depending on the formal framework. It can also refer more generally to concepts that can be meaningfully related within a given context or framework. In prose, it conveys that a comparison or relationship is legitimate or definable, rather than stating that a direct, concrete comparison is always informative.

Grammar and related forms

Viszonyítható functions as an adjective and can be inflected for number and case as needed in Hungarian sentences. Related terms include viszonyítás (the act of relating or establishing a relation) and összevetés (comparison). Antonyms would express non-comparability, such as nem viszonyítható or nem összevethető, depending on the context.
