többik

Többik is a Hungarian term that broadly translates to "remainder," "rest," "what's left," or "more." Its specific meaning depends heavily on the context in which it is used.

In a numerical context, többik refers to the remaining quantity after a division or subtraction. For example, if you have ten apples and eat three, the többik is the seven apples that are left. In mathematics, it can be used in relation to modular arithmetic, referring to the result of a division operation that is not a whole number.

Beyond numbers, többik can describe the residual part of anything. If a speech is given and then a question-and-answer session follows, the question-and-answer session could be considered the többik of the event. It can also imply a greater quantity or amount, functioning similarly to "more" or "additional." For instance, if someone asks for more food, they might be asking for the többik.

The word also appears in specific idiomatic expressions and compound words in Hungarian, where its meaning might be more nuanced than a direct translation suggests. Understanding the surrounding words and the general situation is crucial to accurately interpret the meaning of többik.
