példaiként

"Példaiként" is a Hungarian word that translates to "as an example" or "for example" in English. It functions as an adverbial phrase, introducing an illustration or a specific instance to clarify or support a preceding statement. The word itself is derived from "példa," meaning "example," with the suffix "-ként" indicating "as" or "in the capacity of."

This phrase is commonly used in everyday Hungarian conversation and writing to provide concrete instances that help the listener or reader understand a general concept or point being made. For instance, if someone is discussing common Hungarian dishes, they might say "Magyarországon sokféle ételt fogyasztanak, például gulyást." (In Hungary, many types of dishes are consumed, for example goulash.) Here, "például" serves to introduce goulash as a specific illustration of the diverse culinary landscape.

The usage of "példaiként" is straightforward and its presence typically signals the introduction of supportive or illustrative information. It is a versatile tool for enhancing clarity and providing evidence within a discourse. While "például" is the more frequent and general form, "példaiként" can sometimes be used in more formal or literary contexts to convey a similar meaning, emphasizing the role of something as a model or precedent.
