folyamatosan

Folyamatosan is a Hungarian adverb meaning "continuously" or "without interruption." It describes actions or processes that proceed steadily over time and without breaks.

Etymology: the adverb is formed from the adjective folyamatos (continuous) plus the adverbial suffix -an. The root folyam- derives from folyam, meaning flow or stream, which underpins the sense of ongoing succession.

Usage: folyamatosan typically modifies verbs to indicate the manner of action. Examples: "A gép folyamatosan működik" (The machine operates continuously); "A folyamat folyamatosan zajlik" (The process goes on without interruption). It is common in both formal and informal contexts and can describe physical processes, work rhythms, or information streams. It is also used to emphasize persistence in longer time frames.

Nuance and related terms: Hungarian also uses állandóan ("constantly") to express a stronger or more habitual sense, whereas folyamatosan emphasizes ongoing duration. Related forms include the adjective folyamatos ("continuous"). In practice, folyamatosan is a versatile term found in technical, academic, and media language to describe processes, workflows, and streams that run without interruption.
