költségként

költségként is a Hungarian adverb meaning "as a cost" or "as an expense." It is used to describe a situation where something is considered a financial burden or outlay. For example, one might say that a new investment is being treated "költségként" if its financial implications are being closely scrutinized and managed as a cost. The term can also be used more figuratively to imply a sacrifice or a negative consequence. If a decision leads to a significant drawback, it might be described as having been made "költségként." This word emphasizes the financial or detrimental aspect of an action or situation, highlighting the outflow of resources or the negative impact it entails. It is a common term in Hungarian financial and economic discussions, as well as in everyday language when referring to expenditures or liabilities. The specific context determines whether it refers to a direct monetary cost or a more abstract, metaphorical expense.
