növekedve

Növekedve is a Hungarian adverbial participle (határozói igenév) derived from the verb növekedni, meaning “to grow.” It expresses a state that has resulted from growth and roughly corresponds to the English phrase “having grown” or “increased.” The form is created by attaching the suffix -va or -ve to the verb stem növeked-, yielding növekedve.

In usage, növekedve introduces a clause that describes a concurrent or resulting condition affecting the main statement. It can appear at the beginning of a sentence or within it, usually separated by a comma. The construction is more common in formal, technical, or literary Hungarian, as well as in statistical or analytical writing, than in casual speech. It often refers to quantities, prices, populations, or other metrics that have risen and thereby influence the main action or conclusion.

Examples:

- A bevétel növekedve meghaladta a várakozásokat.

- Növekedve a piac igényeivel, a vállalat bővítette kapacitását.

- Az infláció növekedve gyorsította a költségvetési korrekciókat.

Notes:

Növekedve differs from the present participle növekvő (growing) and from the noun növekedés (growth). The -va/-ve form functions as a subordinate adverbial participle, linking clauses to express a circumstance rooted in growth. It can often be replaced by constructions such as “amely növekedett” or “mivel növekedett,” depending on the stylistic and syntactic requirements.
