mgértéke

Mgértéke is not a standard Hungarian term. In Hungarian, the noun meaning “magnitude, extent, level” is mértéke. The root mérték denotes a measure, a unit, a degree, or a scale, and the possessive form mértéke means “its magnitude” or “its degree.” In most contexts, mértéke is used instead of értéke when the emphasis lies on the size or extent rather than the numerical value.

Usage examples: “A jel erősségének mértéke nőtt” (The magnitude of the signal strength increased). “A kockázat mértéke nem becsülhető meg egyszerűen” (The extent of the risk cannot be simply estimated). In mathematical statements, mértéke can refer to the order of magnitude: “az eredmény mértéke tízszeres” (the magnitude is tenfold). Distinctions: értéke means “its value” (the numeric value of a variable), while mértéke emphasizes size or level.

Potential confusion: “mg” can denote milligramm or magnesium (Mg). In technical writing, ensure the context clarifies whether one is speaking about a numeric value (értéke) or a magnitude (mértéke); avoid using “mgértéke” as a single word, unless it is a coined compound in a specific domain.

Conclusion: For standard Hungarian usage, prefer mértéke for magnitude/extent and értéke for numerical value. “Mgértéke” is nonstandard and should be avoided unless context clearly indicates a domain-specific compound such as Mg-értéke in chemistry or physics.
