válaszként

Válaszként is a Hungarian adverbial form derived from the noun válasz (answer) with the suffix -ként. It denotes the function or role of something as a response to a preceding statement, question, event, or action. In use, válaszként signals that what follows is done or said in reply to something else.

Grammatically, válaszként is typically followed by a stimulus phrase indicating what is being answered, for example a kérdésre, a felvetésre, vagy a közleményre. It can modify a verb or introduce an entire clause: "Válaszként mondta..." or "Válaszként kiadta a közleményt." The construction is common in formal, written Hungarian and appears frequently in journalism, diplomacy, and official communication.

Semantics and nuance: válaszként emphasizes that the action is performed in the capacity of a response, rather than as a general reaction. It is more specific than synonyms like reagálás or reakcióként, and it is distinct from válaszul, which also indicates a reply but with a slightly different stylistic emphasis.

Related forms and notes: The term belongs to a family built from válasz + -ként; in some contexts it can be replaced by más phrasing such as “válaszul,” “reagálva,” or “mint válasz.” Its use tends toward formal or written discourse, whereas in everyday speech speakers may favor simpler expressions to convey a reply or response.
