Énközpontúnak

Énközpontúnak is a predicative inflection of the Hungarian adjective énközpontú, used to describe someone or something that is self-centered or egocentric. The base term é nközpontú means centered on oneself, with én meaning "I" and központú meaning "centered." The suffix -nak/-nek marks the form when the adjective is used as a predicate, often after verbs of being or appearing, or after verbs like tekint, tart vagy tűnik. In sentences, it functions as a complement describing the subject: ő énközpontúnak tűnik; magát énközpontúnak tekinti.

In usage, énközpontúnak typically carries a negative or critical nuance, indicating that a person prioritizes their own needs, opinions, or perspective over others. It is common in psychological, sociological, and everyday discourse when characterizing behavior or attitudes. While most often pejorative, there are contexts in which it is used descriptively without strong judgment, depending on tone and intent.

See also: énközpontú, egocentrizmus, öncentrizmus. The term aligns with other Hungarian descriptors for self-focused attitudes and is frequently contrasted with more other-oriented or empathetic viewpoints in discussions of personality and social behavior.
