kiemelten

Kiemelten is a Hungarian adverb meaning "especially" or "notably." It is used to emphasize the importance or prominence of a statement, attribute, or item.

Etymology and form: It derives from the verb kiemelni, meaning “to emphasize” or “to highlight,” with the adverbial suffix -en, yielding kiemelten. It belongs to the class of emphasis or degree adverbs. The word is typically used in formal or written language and often accompanies adjectives, for example kiemelten fontos or kiemelten jelentős.

Usage and nuance: Kiemelten signals heightened importance beyond ordinary emphasis. It is commonly found in official texts, press communications, academic writing, and policy discussions. It can introduce crucial information or requirements and can appear at the beginning of a sentence for impact.

Examples:

- Kiemelten fontos, hogy időben érkezzenek.

- A kiemelten kezelt adatok védelme alapvető feladat.

- Kiemelten kezelendő ez a kérdés a bizottság ülésén.

Alternatives and tone: In everyday speech, other words such as különösen or főként are more common. Kiemelten has a formal or bureaucratic tone and can sound emphasis-heavy if overused. It may appear at the start of a sentence to draw attention: Kiemelten fontos ez a kérdés.
