informálisan

Informálisan is an adverb in the Hungarian language meaning “in an informal manner.” It describes actions, speech, or settings that lack formality, protocol, or ceremonial rigidity. The word is the adverbial form of the adjective informális (informal), itself borrowed from Western European usage.

In usage, informálisan is most common in spoken language and informal writing. It signals a relaxed tone, directness, or a nontechnical approach. In formal contexts, speakers typically avoid this adverb and prefer alternatives such as nem formális módon or közvetlenül, to emphasize a lack of formality without using the adverb itself. The term can apply to communication styles, attire, or procedures that do not follow formal rules or dress codes.

Typical examples include describing conversations, meetings, or events: a beszélgetés informálisan zajlott; a találkozó informálisan szerveződött; informálisan öltözködni. The adverb contrasts with formálisan (formally) and with other expressions that denote level of formality, such as formális vagy félformális.

Related terms include informális, formális, and formális környezet. While informálisan conveys informality in manner, speakers should choose phrasing that matches the desired formality level in a given context. In academic or official writing, more precise expressions are often preferred to avoid ambiguity about tone and protocol.
