standardként

Standardként is a Hungarian expression formed from the noun standard and the suffix -ként, meaning "as" or "in the role of." It functions as an adverbial or predicative phrase that marks something as a standard or benchmark. The expression is most common in formal, technical, or scholarly writing, where it is useful to specify the status or function of a method, document, or value.

Etymology and grammar: The base word standard is a loanword from English. The suffix -ként attaches to nouns to indicate “as X” or “in the capacity of X.” The resulting form standardként is typically used as a fixed expression within a sentence and is not regularly declined for cases in everyday usage.

Usage and examples:

Usage notes: Standardként mainly appears in official documents, technical reports, and policy or regulatory contexts. In everyday language, speakers may prefer alternatives such as szabvány, minta, vagy példaként, depending on the precise nuance. The term emphasizes the role of a given item as a recognized benchmark rather than simply describing its quality.
