tapadásként

The term *tapadásként* is a Hungarian locution that translates to "as an attachment" or "in an attached capacity" in English. It is commonly used in Hungarian language contexts to describe a situation where an individual or entity performs a role or function that is supplementary or secondary to their primary position or status. This phrase often appears in formal or administrative settings, such as job descriptions, organizational structures, or legal documents.

In Hungarian bureaucracy and professional communication, *tapadásként* may refer to someone who holds a position without being the primary occupant of that role. For example, a person might serve *tapadásként* as a temporary assistant, a substitute, or an additional representative in an organization. This usage reflects a hierarchical or functional relationship where the individual’s role is ancillary to that of a main or permanent incumbent.

The phrase is also found in legal and contractual language, where it can clarify the nature of an individual’s involvement in a particular capacity, such as a consultant, advisor, or representative acting alongside a primary decision-maker. Its usage ensures clarity in distinguishing between primary and secondary roles, particularly in contexts where multiple parties share responsibilities or authority.

While *tapadásként* is primarily a formal term, it is not limited to official documents. It can also appear in everyday speech when describing informal or temporary roles, such as a friend acting as a temporary stand-in for someone else. The phrase underscores the idea of an added or supplementary function rather than an independent one.
