tradicionálisan

Tradicionálisan is a Hungarian adverb meaning “in a traditional manner” or “traditionally.” It is formed from the adjective tradicionális (traditional) plus an adverbial derivation, and is used to describe actions or practices that follow long-standing customs.

Etymology and form: The base is tradicionális, meaning traditional, which itself derives from tradition-related roots in Hungarian. The adverbial form tradicionálisan (and its capitalized form Tradicionálisan when at sentence start or in titles) communicates that something is done according to tradition rather than in a modern or innovative way.

Usage: The word appears in formal or descriptive Hungarian, particularly in discussions of culture, customs, crafts, or cuisine. It helps specify that a method, ritual, or practice adheres to established tradition. In everyday speech, speakers may opt for synonyms such as hagyományosan or according to tradition contexts.

Examples: Tradicionálisan karácsonykor halászlevet fogyasztanak. Translation: Traditionally, at Christmas they eat fish soup. Another example: Tradicionálisan a kézműves technikákat használják a helyi termékek készítésénél. Translation: Traditionally, traditional techniques are used in making local products.

See also: tradíció, tradicionális, hagyomány, tradition. Note that while Tradicionálisan is recognized in Hungarian, English-language texts typically translate it as “traditionally,” with the Hungarian term used for precise cultural descriptions.
