szabályosan
Szabályosan is a Hungarian adverb meaning “in a manner that follows the rules” or “properly,” and it can also express regularity or consistency over time. It denotes that an action is performed in accordance with laws, norms, safety guidelines, or schedules, as opposed to being done randomly or incorrectly. The word is commonly used to describe behavior, procedures, or processes that comply with established requirements.
The adverb is formed from the adjective szabályos (“regular,” “rule-based”) with the adverbial suffix -an, following
