folytatóan

Folytatóan is a Hungarian adverb of manner meaning "in a continuing, successive way" or "continuously in sequence." It is formed from the adjective folytató (ongoing, continuing), which derives from the verb folytatni (to continue) with the adverbial suffix -an.

In usage, folytatóan describes actions or events that occur in a continuing sequence, with an emphasis on the progression from one element to the next. It is similar to, but not identical with, folyamatosan (continuously) or ismétlődően (repeatedly); folytatóan foregrounds the serial, unbroken succession of occurrences rather than merely the duration or repetition.

Typical contexts include literary description, narrative progression, or analytical writing where a sequence of events or manifestations is highlighted as it unfolds in a sustained chain. Examples: A ritmus folytatóan ismétlődik a darabban. A leírt események folytatóan követik egymást.

Etymology and related terms: folytató derives from folytatni, and the adverbial suffix -an turns the adjective into a manner adverb. Related expressions include folyamatosan (continuously), egymás után (one after another), szakaszosan (in a segmented, stepwise way).
