elfordításként

elfordításként is a Hungarian word that translates to "as a translation" or "in translation" in English. It functions as an adverbial phrase, indicating the capacity or manner in which something is being presented or understood. For instance, one might say a text is being discussed "elfordításként," meaning it is being discussed in its translated form, or as a translation.

The word is composed of two parts: "el-" which is a prefix often indicating direction or completion, and "fordítás" meaning "translation." The "-ként" suffix is a Hungarian adverbial suffix that denotes "as" or "in the capacity of." Therefore, the literal breakdown of "elfordításként" highlights its meaning of acting or being considered "as a translation."

This phrase is commonly used in contexts where the original language of a work is distinct from the language in which it is being consumed or analyzed. It emphasizes that the current form is not the original but a rendering into another tongue. The nuance of "elfordításként" can be important in academic, literary, or linguistic discussions where the fidelity, interpretation, or specific choices made during the translation process are under consideration. It serves to frame the object of discussion as a translated entity.
