kategóriális

Kategóriális is a Hungarian adjective formed from kategória (category). It describes something relating to categories or to the process of categorization. The exact meaning depends on the disciplinary context, but it is commonly used to indicate that organizing elements into distinct classes or categories is central to the concept, method, or system in question.

In linguistics and grammar, kategóriális terminology may appear in references to frameworks that classify linguistic objects according to syntactic or semantic categories. In information science, mathematics, or data processing, the term is used for approaches, structures, or datasets that are organized or analyzed by categories, classes, or groupings. In philosophy or logic, it can denote classification-based reasoning or analyses that proceed by categorizing phenomena.

The term is one of several Hungarian expressions for category-related ideas. Related forms include kategóriás (category-based) and kategorizált (categorized). Depending on the field, kategóriális may be paired with nouns such as megközelítés (approach), rendszer (system), or osztályozás (classification) to specify a category-based orientation.

Note that kúaching usage can vary, and in some contexts other terms like kategorikus or kategória-based descriptors may be preferred. Overall, kategóriális signals a focus on categories as organizing principles, rather than on a universal or absolute claim.
