többesször

Többször is a Hungarian adverb meaning “several times” or “repeatedly.” In modern standard Hungarian, the preferred form is többször; the variant többesször is rarely used today and is generally considered nonstandard or archaic, sometimes appearing in older texts or as a misspelling.

The word is built from több meaning “more” plus the suffix -szor meaning “times,” conveying repetition across multiple occasions. It is closely related in meaning to sokszor (many times) and gyakran (often), with többször often emphasizing a countable sense of repetition.

Usage and nuance: Többször describes actions that occur on multiple occasions. Examples: “Többször jártam már ott.” (“I have been there several times.”) “A terv többször is bebizonyosodott.” (“The plan has proven itself several times.”) In everyday speech sokszor is more common, while többször can carry a slightly more formal or precise tone about frequency.

Grammatical notes: Többször is an adverb and does not inflect. Its position in a sentence follows typical adverb placement, often before the main verb or near auxiliary verbs, depending on emphasis and sentence structure.
