következ

Következ is the verb stem associated with the Hungarian verb következni, which means to follow or to ensue. In standard modern Hungarian, the stem itself is not used as an independent lexical item; it appears in inflected forms of the verb and in related words that share the same root.

The primary senses of közelík? The stem underlies meanings related to following in time or order, coming after, or resulting from something. In practice, speakers usually use the full verb form következik (it follows/comes next) or its plural következnek (they follow/come next) to express sequencing or succession. The root also yields a set of related terms with broader scope, such as következő meaning next or upcoming, and következés meaning sequence, succession, or consequence.

Common derived forms and expressions include:

- következő, meaning next or upcoming, used to modify nouns (a következő hét, the next week).

- következés, meaning sequence or consequence.

- következésképpen, meaning therefore or consequently, a formal or literary connective.

Usage notes:

- Következik is widely used to indicate that something comes after in a sequence, in narration, instructions, or schedules. For example: A következő részben megvizsgáljuk a példát. The next section will examine the example.

- Következésképpen is common in formal Hungarian to signal a logical consequence.

- The standalone stem kövek? It is typically not used as a free-standing word outside of inflected forms.

Etymology:

The form köve-ved originates from the root köv- of következni, reflecting the common Finno-Ugric Germanic-influenced pattern for derivational morphology in Hungarian.
