sebességnél

Sebességnél is a Hungarian locative construction formed from the noun sebesség (speed) with the suffix -nél. It conveys the condition or context of operating at a certain speed and is usually translated as "at speed" or "under that speed." The -nél suffix marks location or circumstance, and sebességnél can be extended by adjectives or numerals to specify the level of speed, such as nagy sebességnél ("at high speed") or alacsony sebességnél ("at low speed"). The form is common in technical, scientific, and safety-related writing, as well as in descriptive prose about motion and transportation.

In usage, sebességnél functions as a prepositional phrase that sets the conditions for the action described in the sentence. It can pair with adjectives, adverbs, or measurements and may appear with or without accompanying units. For example, nagy sebességnél describes conditions where high speed is present, while alacsony sebességnél describes slower operation. It is also used with numerical speeds, such as 80 km/h-nél, to indicate the threshold at which a rule or phenomenon applies.

Notes on nuance and alternatives: sebességnél emphasizes the situational context of speed, whereas other Hungarian expressions like "sebességgel" focus on the manner of movement (with speed). The choice between sebességnél and related forms depends on whether the writer intends to specify a condition, a maximum or typical operating speed, or a particular speed threshold.
