különbözségét

Különbözségét is a Hungarian form referring to the noun különbözség, which denotes a difference, distinction, or diversity. The base concept covers the idea of how objects, phenomena or groups differ from one another, either in quantity, quality, or character. The ending -ét marks a definite object, so különbözségét means “its difference” or “the difference of it” in a sentence.

In everyday Hungarian, the more common word for a simple difference is különbség. Különbözség and related forms tend to appear in formal or academic contexts such as sociology, linguistics, philosophy, or statistics, where the emphasis is on disparity, variety, or structural distinctions among elements. The term can refer to differences between individuals, groups, cultures, or variables within a study, often with a nuanced or qualitative sense.

grammatically, különbözség can take various inflections to fit the sentence. For example, in a sentence describing a specific difference, one might encounter a form like különbözségét: A kutató a két jelenség közötti különbözségét elemezte, meaning that the researcher analyzed the difference between the two phenomena. Plural forms such as különbözségek appear when discussing multiple differences.

Etymologically, the noun is related to the adjective különböző (different) and is formed with the suffix -ség to denote a abstract property or condition. Related terms include különbözőség (often used for diversity or variety) and különbség, which is the more common word for a basic difference.
