Zavaraipéldául

Zavaraipéldául is a Hungarian word that translates directly to "for example" or "as an example" in English. It is a common phrase used in the Hungarian language to introduce an illustration or instance of a preceding statement. The term is a compound word formed from "zavara" and "például". "Zavara" is a possessive form of a word that can relate to being confused or troubled, however in this context it functions as part of a set phrase. "Például" is the standard Hungarian word for "for example".

The usage of zavaraipéldául is similar to how "for example" is used in English. It serves to clarify a general point by providing a specific case that demonstrates the validity or nature of that point. For instance, if someone were to say that Hungarian cuisine is diverse, they might follow it with "zavaraipéldául, gulyásleves" which means "for example, goulash soup". This helps the listener understand the diversity being referred to by offering a concrete and well-known example.

While "például" is the more common and universally understood term for "for example" in Hungarian, "zavaraipéldául" is also used, though it may be considered slightly more colloquial or idiomatic by some speakers. Its precise origin is not definitively documented but it is a recognized part of the Hungarian lexicon. The function remains the same: to provide an illustrative example.
