maradandóbbak

Maradandóbbak is the plural form of the Hungarian adjective maradandóbb, the comparative of maradandó, meaning lasting, durable or permanent. In Hungarian grammar, adjectives form the comparative with the suffix -bb, and when referring to multiple nouns the plural suffix -ak/-ek/-ök is added according to vowel harmony, yielding maradandóbbak. The word describes objects, effects, or conditions that are more enduring than others and is typically used in contexts where longevity or stability is being compared.

The term is used both in formal and informal language to indicate a higher degree of durability or persistence. It can describe physical properties, such as materials or constructions, as well as abstract phenomena, like impacts, outcomes, or strategies that persist over time. The corresponding superlative form is legmaradandóbb, and the adverbial form is maradandóbban.

Examples of usage include: “Egyes megoldások maradandóbbak, mint a többi megoldás,” meaning some solutions are more lasting than others; or “A maradandóbb hatások meghatározzák a hosszú távú kockázatkezelést.” The phrase may appear in scientific, policy-related, or literary texts to emphasize comparative longevity or resilience.

Related terms and contrasts include maradandó (lasting or permanent in a non-comparative sense) and legmaradandóbb (the most lasting). The word is primarily a descriptive tool to compare endurance, durability, or persistence across items or ideas.
