Végeként

Végeként is a Hungarian word that functions as a postposition. It is typically translated into English as "as a result of," "in the end," or "finally." It signifies the conclusion or outcome of a preceding event or situation. The word itself is derived from the Hungarian word "vég" meaning "end" and the suffix "-ként" which indicates a role or manner. Therefore, literally it can be understood as "in the manner of an end" or "as an end."

The usage of végeként often implies a sequence of events where the preceding circumstances directly lead to the stated outcome. It is commonly employed in both spoken and written Hungarian to summarize a process or to point to the final consequence. For example, one might say "Hosszú vita végeként megegyeztek" which translates to "As a result of the long debate, they reached an agreement." This demonstrates how végeként links the preceding debate to the concluding agreement. While it can convey a sense of finality, it doesn't always carry a negative connotation; it simply marks the end point.
