többek

Többek is a Hungarian word that functions mainly as part of a fixed expression rather than as a standalone common noun. It is best known from the idiom többek között, which translates to among others. In that usage, többek does not refer to a specific group by itself but helps indicate additional, unnamed participants in a list or discussion.

Etymology and form: The form is derived from the adjective több, meaning more or many. The plural-ending form többek is used in the idiomatic phrase többek között, and appears in formal or written Hungarian to convey inclusion of additional people or items beyond those explicitly named.

Usage: Többek között introduces examples, proposals, or contributors in a sentence. For example, a writer might say, többen érkeztek, többen közöttük voltak a meghívottak, meaning among them were the invited guests. In practice, többek között often appears in lists that aim to acknowledge several elements without naming every one of them. The phrase is common in journalism, reports, and academic writing as a concise way to indicate broader participation or inclusion.

Related forms and alternatives: The related noun form a többiek means the others, a more direct reference to unspecified participants. Többek között is the standard idiom for “among others,” while többet, többnyire, and related words operate in different grammatical or lexical contexts.

See also: többezren, többnyire, a többiek, többet között (note: the standard expression is többet között is often rendered as többet között in various contexts). The term is primarily used in Hungarian-language writing and discourse.
