Átlagosabb

Átlagosabb is the comparative form of the Hungarian adjective átlagos, meaning "average" or "typical." It is used to indicate that something is more average or more characteristic of a group than another thing. The form is created by adding the suffix -abb to the stem of átlagos, yielding átlagosabb. In Hungarian, comparatives are generally formed with -abb/-ebb, and with átlagos the result is átlagosabb.

Usage and nuance: Átlagosabb is most appropriate when contrasting two or more items with an emphasis on proximity to the statistical mean or the common traits within a set. It can appear in descriptive, statistical, or evaluative contexts. In everyday speech, speakers may opt for expressions such as “közelebb az átlaghoz” (closer to the average) or “az átlaghoz képest” (compared to the average) to convey a similar idea.

Examples:

- Ez a példa átlagosabb, mint az előző.

- A jelenlegi adatsor átlagosabb értékeket mutat, mint a korábbi kiadások.

Related terms: átlag (average), átlagos (average, typical), általánosabb (more general), jellemzőbb (more characteristic). While átlagosabb explicitly marks a comparative degree, stylistic choices in Hungarian may favor alternative phrasings to express relative typicality depending on context.
