Zajosan

Zajosan is a Hungarian adverb meaning "noisily" or "in a noisy manner." It is formed from the adjective zajos, meaning "noisy," with an adverbial suffix. The rendition is typically pronounced roughly as “zah-YOH-sahn.”

Usage and nuance: Zajosan describes how an action is performed with a noticeable level of noise. It is more common in written or formal contexts and can carry a sense of disruption or intensity, whereas everyday speech often favors hangosan to mean "loudly."

Examples: A gép zajosan működik. The machine is operating noisily. Az utcán zajosan szólt a zene. The music sounded noisily in the street. These examples illustrate how zajosan modifies the verb to convey the manner of the action rather than simply its loudness.

Etymology and related forms: Zajosan derives from zajos (noisy) with the adverbial suffix; related terms include zajos (noisy) and hangosan (loudly), the latter being a more common alternative for everyday speech.
