vizsgálatkor

Vizsgálatkor is a Hungarian temporal expression formed from the noun vizsgálat (examination) and the time suffix -kor, meaning “at the time of” or “during.” It functions as an adverbial modifier of time, indicating that an action occurs within the period of a given examination. The term can be understood as a more concise alternative to phrases like vizsgálat során or a vizsgálat ideje alatt, and it often carries a sense of a specific phase within the examination process.

In usage, vizsgálatkor appears in medical, forensic, administrative, and research contexts, among others. It marks events tied to the examination’s time frame, rather than to its start or end alone. For example: A mintát vizsgálatkor vették. (The sample was taken during the examination.) Vizsgálatkor megfigyelt adatok alapján döntöttek. (They decided based on data observed during the examination.) While it can often be replaced by vizsgálat során or a vizsgálat ideje alatt without changing the meaning, vizsgálatkor emphasizes the moment or phase within the examination itself.

Notes on nuance: vizsgálatkor denotes a precise temporal reference tied to the examination, whereas készülhet a kifejezés a vizsgálat alatt vagy során formában is used to indicate overlap over a broader period. The choice among these expressions can affect the perceived rigidity or fluidity of timing in a sentence, with vizsgálatkor typically offering a tighter temporal frame.
