legtöbbször

Legtöbbször is a Hungarian adverb meaning “the most often; most frequently.” It expresses the highest frequency of a given event or action within a defined set or comparison. The word is formed with the prefix leg- added to többször, which itself means “several times” or “many times.” The construction signals that one option or occurrence happens more often than the others in the context being discussed.

Usage and nuance: Legtöbbször is used when contrasting how often different possibilities occur, or when describing which action or phenomenon happens most frequently. It typically accompanies a comparative phrase or clause. Examples: “A válaszok közül legtöbbször az igen hangzott el.” (Among the answers, most often an “yes” was spoken.) “Ez a módszer a három lehetőség közül legtöbbször működik.” (Among the three options, this method works the most often.) In everyday speech you may also encounter related terms such as gyakran (often) or többször (several times), but legtöbbször carries a sense of maximal frequency within a defined comparison.

Related terms: Leggyakoribb is closely related, meaning “the most common,” which emphasizes overall prevalence rather than frequency within a particular sample. Legtöbbször thus marks relative frequency and is common in written and formal Hungarian when analyzing data, trends, or surveys.
