updateként

Updateként is a Hungarian adverbial noun form meaning “as an update” or “in the form of an update.” It is derived from the English loanword update and the Hungarian suffix -ként, which marks a role or function. The expression signals that information is presented as an update to a previous statement rather than as new, standalone content.

Usage and nuance

The phrase is common in online media, journalism, corporate communications, and IT contexts where information is revised or supplemented. It often accompanies texts that amend earlier claims, add new details, or correct prior data. Because it functions as a fixed phrase, updateként typically appears before the main verb or within a sentence as a marker of the information’s status rather than as a separate action.

Grammar and style notes

Updateként behaves like other -ként forms in Hungarian, serving to express “in the capacity of” or “as.” It does not undergo further affixation for case or tense; it remains unchanged in use. While it clearly signals an update, some contexts may prefer native alternatives such as frissítésként or új információként, depending on formality and audience.

Examples

A közlemény updateként közli a legújabb fejlesztéseket.

A vállalat updateként közölte a változásokat.

Az alkalmazás fejlesztői updateként számoltak be a hibajavításokról és az új funkciókról.
