elrejelzésként

Elrejelzésként is a Hungarian adverbial phrase formed from the noun elrejelzés (a forecast or prediction) plus the suffix -ként, which denotes role or function. The construction literally means “as a forecast” or “in the capacity of a forecast.” It is used to indicate that a statement, interpretation, or data presentation should be understood in the sense of a forecast rather than as a certain fact.

Usage and notes: In contemporary Hungarian, the standard term for a forecast is előrejelzés, and the common idiom is előrejelzésként. The form elrejelzésként is attested and may appear in some texts as a stylistic variant or in contexts where the author aims to emphasize the forecast’s function, though it is less common and may be regarded as nonstandard by some speakers. Factors such as regional variation, historical usage, or editorial preference can influence which form is used.

Examples:

- A jelentésben az adatokat elrejelzésként értelmezik, és ennek megfelelően mutatják be a jövőbeni várakozásokat.

- A gazdasági elemzés szerint a növekedés elrejelzésként van feltüntetve, bár több tényező is módosíthatja ezt a becslést.

Translations: “In the report, the data are interpreted as a forecast,” and “the growth is presented as a forecast.”
