arányosan

arányosan is an adverb in Hungarian meaning “in proportion” or “proportionally.” It is formed from the noun arány, meaning ratio or proportion, with the adverbial suffix -osan. The word is used to indicate that a process, change, or distribution follows a proportional relationship with another quantity rather than occurring uniformly or arbitrarily. It is common in mathematical, statistical, economic, and everyday language.

Usage in practice centers on describing proportional relationships. arányosan can modify verbs to express proportional change (for example, a verb describing growth or reduction) and, less often, modify phrases that describe distribution or allocation. It is often contrasted with terms like egyenlően (evenly) when emphasis is on relative scaling rather than equal division. In formal writing, arányosan appears in sentences that discuss how one quantity changes in step with another.

Examples:

A bevétel arányosan nőtt a költségek emelkedésével. — Revenue increased proportionally to the rise in costs.

A lakosság arányosan oszlott meg a városrész között. — The population was distributed proportionally among the city districts.

Related terms include arány (ratio), arányosság (proportionality), and aránytalanság. The adverb arányosan is used to express proportional relationships across mathematical, scientific, and everyday contexts.
