egyszerbben

Egyszerbben is a Hungarian word that functions as an adverb meaning “in a more simple way” or “more simply.” In standard Hungarian, the preferred form is egyszerűbben, which is the comparative adverb derived from the adjective egyszerű (simple). The spelling egyszerbben, without the ü and with a single b, is generally considered nonstandard in contemporary Hungarian and may appear as a misspelling or a historical variant.

Usage and meaning

Egyszerbben is used to indicate that something is explained or presented in a simpler manner than another version. It commonly appears in instructional texts, explanations, and formal or journalistic writing when a more accessible formulation is desired. It contrasts with egyszerűen (simply) for manner, and with egyszerűbb (simpler) for the comparative degree of the adjective.

Related forms

- egyszerűen = simply

- egyszerűbb = simpler

- egyszerűbben = more simply (the standard comparative adverb)

These forms derive from the adjective egyszerű and illustrate Hungarian patterns of comparative and adverbial derivation.

Examples

- Írj egyszerűbben, hogy mindenki megértse. (Write more simply so everyone can understand.)

- Ezt a feladatot egyszerűbben meg lehet oldani. (This task can be solved more simply.)

- Magyarázd el az elvet egyszerűbben! (Explain the principle more simply.)

Etymology

The term builds on the adjective egyszerű (simple) with the comparative suffix -bb and the adverbial ending -en, yielding egyszerűbben. The form egyszerbben is occasionally encountered but is not standard in modern usage.
