krómtartalmú

Krómtartalmú is a compound adjective used to describe texts or materials that have short or concise content. The term appears in Central European language contexts and signals brevity rather than depth. In standard Hungarian, the more common form is rövidtartalmú, while krómtartalmú may appear in multilingual or nonstandard texts as a calque, loanword, or stylistic variant.

Etymology and usage considerations: krómtartalmú is composed from elements meaning “short” and “content,” joined with a suffix that marks content-bearing quality. Because there is no single, universally accepted spelling, its adoption varies by author, publication, and language environment. The form is primarily used attributively before a noun, for example krómtartalmú cikk (a short-content article) or krómtartalmú összefoglaló (a brief summary). It is more common in informal writing, editorial notes, or catalog descriptions than in formal dictionaries or normative grammar guides.

Context and interpretation: The term conveys brevity and limited scope. It is typically contrasted with hosszú tartalmú (long-content) or alapos tartalmú (thorough) descriptors. In practice, krómtartalmú labeling can help readers gauge whether a text provides only essential facts or a more detailed treatment. When clarity is important, it may be preferable to use established Hungarian terms such as rövidtartalmú or to specify the content through a concise abstract or summary.

See also: summary, abstract, brief, executive summary, content length. Note that rövidtartalmú is the standard Hungarian equivalent, and krómtartalmú remains a nonstandard or context-specific variant rather than a widely recognized term.
