eszerint

Eszerint is a Hungarian adverb meaning "accordingly" or "in this respect." It is used to indicate that a statement, conclusion, or action follows from something previously stated, cited, or established in the text. The word functions as a discourse marker, guiding the reader to apply the preceding information to what follows. Eszerint is most common in formal or written Hungarian, including legal, administrative, academic, and journalistic styles.

Etymology and form: Eszerint is a fixed compound formed from ez ("this") and szerint ("according to"), written as a single word. It can precede the clause it governs or appear at the start of a sentence to frame the ensuing content.

Usage: Examples include Eszerint a projekt megvalósítható, vagyis költségvetés áll rendelkezésre; Eszerint a rendelet hatályba lépett. In English: "Accordingly, the project is feasible" and "Accordingly, the regulation has entered into force." The expression closely mirrors "thus" or "accordingly" in English, but with a closer link to the immediately preceding text.

Nuances: Eszerint emphasizes conformity to previously stated facts or rules, rather than introducing new independent conclusions. It contrasts with adverbs like így ("thus") or ezért ("therefore"), which can be more general.

See also: szerint; ez; ezen alapszik; ennek megfelelően.
