kísérletileg

Kísérletileg is a Hungarian adverb meaning "in an experimental manner" or "experimentally." It is formed from the noun kísérlet (an experiment) with the adverbial suffix -leg, which yields an adverb used to describe how an action is performed or how results were obtained. The term is primarily used in scientific, technical, and academic writing to indicate that methods, results, or conclusions derive from experimental procedures rather than theory alone.

Usage and nuances: It is commonly used to describe methods, data collection, or findings that come from controlled experiments, trial runs, or empirical testing. In many contexts, it can replace phrases like "in an experimental manner." Example: "A kísérletileg meghatározott paraméterek szerint zajlott a vizsgálat." (The study proceeded according to the parameters defined experimentally.) In Hungarian prose, it often appears in cautious phrasing about limitations, e.g., "kísérletileg igazolható" (experimentally verifiable).

Etymology: The adverb is derived from kísérlet (experiment) plus the adverbial suffix -leg. The word belongs to scientific and technical registers; outside those registers, more common expressions like "tapasztalati" or "gyakorlatban" may be used depending on context.
