sorozataként

Sorozataként is a Hungarian expression used to denote “as a series” or “in the capacity of a series/sequence.” It is formed from the noun sorozat (meaning a series, sequence, or ordered set) plus the suffix -ként, which Turkish-like attaches to nouns to express role or state, equivalent to “as” in English.

Meaning and usage

The phrase signals that something should be regarded, treated, or described in the sense of a series or sequence. It can apply to mathematical sequences as well as to chronological or ordered sets of items, events, or steps. In scholarly, administrative, or descriptive writing, sorozataként is used to specify the particular perspective or function being attributed to the subject, for example in analyses that treat data or events as a sequence rather than as a single item.

Examples

- The observations were interpreted as a series, i.e., sorozataként értelmezték a megfigyeléseket.

- The data set is presented as a sequence, analyzed sorozataként rather than as independent points.

Orthography and related forms

In standard Hungarian, the more common form of this construction is sorozatként. Sorozataként exists as a recognized variant and is encountered in some texts, though usage may depend on publisher preferences or stylistic guidelines. Both forms share the same grammatical function: to express acting or being considered “as a series” or “in the form of a series.”

Etymology

The word combines sorozat (series, sequence) with the postpositional suffix -ként, a productive Hungarian formative that denotes function, role, or manner, yielding the meaning “as a series” or “in the capacity of a series.”
