idhatározóként

The term "idhatározóként" is a Hungarian grammatical term that translates to "as an adverbial complement" or "as an adverbial modifier" in English. It refers to a syntactic function within a sentence where a word or phrase modifies the verb, adjective, or another adverb, providing information about time, place, manner, cause, or purpose. Essentially, it answers questions like when, where, how, why, or to what extent something happens or is.

In Hungarian grammar, an idhatározóként can be expressed by various parts of speech. Most commonly, it is formed by adverbs themselves, such as "holnap" (tomorrow) or "gyorsan" (quickly). However, it can also be a noun in a specific case, often the accusative or dative, or a verbal noun. For instance, "esti sétára" (for an evening walk) can function as an adverbial complement indicating purpose. Similarly, phrases with prepositions or postpositions can also take on this role, like "az asztal alatt" (under the table), which specifies location. Understanding the idhatározóként is crucial for analyzing sentence structure and meaning in Hungarian, as it adds essential context to the core elements of the clause.
