hiányosabb

Hiányosabb is the Hungarian comparative form of the adjective hiányos, meaning deficient, incomplete, or lacking. It denotes that something is more deficient or less complete than another thing.

Formation and grammar: hiányosabb is created by adding the comparative suffix -abb to the stem hiányos, in accordance with Hungarian vowel harmony. The base word is hiányos, and the comparative form is hiányosabb. In sentences, it agrees with the noun in number and case, for example hiányosabb (singular) and hiányosabbak (plural).

Usage: The word is used to compare degrees of deficiency or incompleteness. Examples include: “A jelentés hiányosabb, mint a tavalyi.” (The report is more deficient than last year’s.) “Az adatok hiányosabbak az előző negyedévinél.” (The data are more incomplete than in the previous quarter.)

Nuance and context: Hiányosabb often describes quality aspects such as data quality, documentation, or knowledge. It can appear in neutral descriptive statements as well as evaluative assessments. It is contrasted with hiányos (deficient) on a less comparative level, and with teljes or teljesebb (more complete) as the opposite end of the scale.

See also: Related terms include hiányosság (deficiency or flaw), hiányos (deficient), and teljes, teljesebb (complete or more complete). The term is primarily used in formal or analytical Hungarian to express comparative deficiency.
