nevüként

nevüként is a Hungarian adverbial form built from the noun név (name) with the possessive suffix -ük (their) and the suffix -ként, which marks the sense “as” or “in the capacity of.” The resulting expression means roughly “as their name” or “in their name.” It is used to indicate the designation, label, or role under which someone or something is referred to in a sentence, especially when that designation is tied to the group referred to by nevük.

Morphology and construction: the base word is név, to which the possessive suffix -ük is added to form nevük (their name). The suffix -ként is then attached to express “in the capacity of” or “as.” The combination nevüként denotes designation by name for a plural subject and is most common in formal or written Hungarian.

Usage: nevüként appears in contexts where a group or persons is being described by the name they use or by a label assigned to them. It is more typical in formal, legal, scholarly, or historical prose than in everyday speech. The form helps distinguish a label or title applied to the group from other expressions such as névként (as a name in general) or other case forms.

Relation to related forms: névként means “as a name” in general and is used with singular or unspecific subjects. nevüként is specifically used when the subject is a plural entity with its own name, emphasizing the designation used by or for that group.
