sorozatos

Sorozatos is a Hungarian adjective used to describe things that occur in a series or in sequence, often with a sense of regularity or repetition. It characterizes processes, events, or phenomena that unfold one after another, rather than occurring as isolated incidents. In mathematics and logic, sorozatos can describe elements arranged in a sequence or a sequence of related events, ideas, or observations. In everyday language, it is commonly applied to describe recurring patterns or a chain of incidents.

Etymology and form: the word derives from sorozat, meaning “series” or “sequence,” with the adjectival suffix -os that yields sorozatos, meaning “serial” or “involving a series.” The form can be used to modify nouns (sorozatos események, sorozatos adások) or, in some constructions, to express recurring or successive characteristics.

Usage and nuance: sorozatos emphasizes order and progression in time or structure, distinguishing it from terms that merely indicate repetition or frequency without implying a sequence. It is frequently used in technical, scientific, and cultural contexts, such as describing sorozatos események (serial events), sorozatos adások (TV episodes broadcast in a series), or sorozatos tünetek (symptoms appearing in successive episodes). The adverb form is sorozatosan, used to describe actions occurring in a series or consecutively.
