számpéldául

Számpéldául is a Hungarian word that translates to "for example" or "for instance" in English. It is a common phrase used in everyday conversation and writing to introduce an illustration or clarification of a statement. The word is a compound of "szám" meaning "number" or "count" and "például" meaning "for example." While "szám" literally translates to number, in this context, it's used more broadly to signify a case or instance.

The phrase serves a similar function to its English counterparts, helping to make explanations clearer and more relatable. For example, if someone is discussing types of fruits, they might say "Szeretek sokféle gyümölcsöt enni, számpéldául almát, banánt és narancsot." This translates to "I like to eat many kinds of fruit, for example apples, bananas, and oranges." The use of számpéldául provides concrete examples to support the general statement.

It is a versatile phrase and can be used in both formal and informal settings. Its primary purpose is to enhance understanding by offering specific instances of a general idea or concept. The repetition of "például" within the word itself emphasizes its function as an introducer of examples.
