készételekig

Készételekig is a Hungarian compound form built from készételek (ready-made meals) and the suffix -ig, meaning “up to” or “as far as.” The term signals a scope that encompasses the category of prepared foods and is often used to describe ranges, classifications, or limits within food systems, nutrition, and retail discourse. It is typically found in written or formal speech rather than casual conversation.

Etymology and grammar: The base noun is készétel (a prepared dish); in the plural it becomes készételek. The postpositional suffix -ig attaches to form készételekig, indicating an extent related to the noun. In compounds it commonly appears with terjed (to extend) to create phrases such as készételekig terjedő skála or készételekig terjedő kínálat.

Usage and examples: In dietetics, market studies, or policy discussions, készételekig helps describe the breadth of options from basic ingredients to ready-made meals. Example phrases: “a készételekig terjedő skála” (a scale extending up to ready-made meals) and “a készételekig terjedő kínálat” (a range that extends to ready-made meals). It is more typical in formal or descriptive writing than in everyday speech.

Cultural and industry context: The term appears in analyses of consumer choices, nutrition guidelines, and retail categorization. It supports discussions about how food systems organize options from raw ingredients to prepared dishes, and how such categorizations influence labeling, marketing, and dietary planning.
