egymásután

egymásután is a Hungarian adverb. It translates to "one after another" or "in succession" in English. It is used to describe events or actions that happen sequentially without interruption or with minimal time between them. For example, one might say "a házak egymásután épültek" which means "the houses were built one after another." This indicates a continuous process of construction.

The adverb is formed by combining the words "egy" (one) and "más" (other) with the suffix "-után" (after). This etymology directly reflects its meaning of sequential occurrence. It can be applied to a variety of contexts, from physical objects arranged in a line to abstract events or a series of actions performed by a person or group. The emphasis is on the unbroken chain of occurrences.

In essence, egymásután signifies a consecutive order. It's a common and useful word in the Hungarian language for describing ordered sequences.
