rövidtávon

Rövidtávon is a Hungarian adverb that translates to "in the short term" or "short-range" in English. It is used to describe events, plans, or considerations that are limited to a brief period of time or a limited distance.

In economic contexts, "rövidtávon" often refers to the immediate future, typically within a year, when analyzing trends, market conditions, or policy impacts. For example, an economist might discuss the short-term effects of a new tax law on inflation. In business, it can describe strategies or goals that are intended to be achieved quickly, as opposed to long-term objectives.

The term can also be used in everyday language to indicate a limited scope or duration. Someone might say they are only planning "rövidtávon" for their weekend, meaning they have not made extensive arrangements. Similarly, in physics or engineering, "rövidtávon" might describe phenomena that occur over small distances or brief durations, such as the interaction between particles. The opposite of "rövidtávon" is "hosszú távon," meaning "in the long term." The choice between these terms depends entirely on the temporal or spatial scale being considered.
