kezdésként

Kezdésként is a Hungarian word that translates to "as a start," "initially," or "to begin with" in English. It functions as an adverbial phrase, often used to introduce the first step in a process, a preliminary action, or an initial thought.

The word is a compound of "kezdés" (meaning "beginning" or "start") and the suffix "-ként" (which denotes "as" or "in the capacity of"). Therefore, its literal meaning directly reflects its usage in conveying the concept of something being the initial phase.

In practical terms, "kezdésként" can be employed in various contexts. For example, when outlining instructions, one might say, "Kezdésként, készítsük elő a hozzávalókat" ("As a start, let's prepare the ingredients"). It can also be used to express a tentative or preliminary opinion, such as, "Kezdésként azt gondolom, hogy ez egy jó irány" ("To begin with, I think this is a good direction"). The phrase helps to signal that what follows is not necessarily the complete picture or the final conclusion, but rather the initial stage of consideration or action. Its flexibility makes it a common and useful expression in everyday Hungarian communication.
