egyaránt

Egyaránt is a Hungarian adverb meaning "equally; alike; likewise," used to indicate that two or more elements share the same status, degree, or treatment in relation to a predicate. It expresses parity in value or emphasis and can refer to people, options, outcomes, or qualities. The word is versatile and appears in everyday speech as well as in formal writing.

Etymology: The term is a compound of egy ("one") and arány ("proportion" or "ratio"), with the sense of an even distribution or balance. Its exact historical development is not fully documented, but egyaránt has long been part of standard Hungarian.

Usage: Egyaránt may appear at the beginning of a clause for emphasis or before the element it modifies. It is commonly used with verbs of effect or attitude (to treat, to consider, to affect) and with adjectives and noun phrases, often in parallel constructions. It can convey policy-level parity or equal importance in discussions of groups, rights, or opportunities.

Examples: A program egyaránt hasznos mind a kezdőknek, mind a haladóknak. A döntés egyaránt érinti a dolgozókat és a befektetőket. Egyaránt fontos a biztonság és a hatékonyság.
