tórészt

tórészt is a Hungarian word that functions as a conjunctive adverb. It is typically translated into English as "on the other hand," "however," or "conversely." Its primary use is to introduce a contrasting idea or a different perspective in relation to a previously stated point. The word itself is composed of two parts: "túl" meaning "beyond" or "over," and "részt" which is the accusative case of "rész," meaning "part." This etymology suggests a sense of looking at a different "part" or going "beyond" the initial statement.

In Hungarian sentence structure, tórészt is often placed at the beginning of a clause or sentence, separating it from the preceding information. It serves to signal a shift in the direction of the argument or discussion. For example, one might state a positive aspect of something, and then use tórészt to introduce a negative aspect. It is a common and idiomatic expression used in both formal and informal Hungarian communication to establish a balanced or comparative view. The word emphasizes a contrast or a counterpoint, ensuring that multiple facets of a topic are considered.
