Évente

Évente is a Hungarian adverb meaning annually or per year. It indicates that an event, action, or measurement occurs within each year, or with a yearly frequency. Évente is used in a wide range of contexts, including everyday speech, journalism, and formal writing. Examples include statements like Évente háromszor rendezik meg a fesztivált (The festival is held three times a year) and Évente több száz turista látogatja a múzeumot (Several hundred tourists visit the museum each year).

Etymology and related terms: Évente is formed from the noun év (year) with an adverbial suffix and is closely related to évenként, another yearly adverb. Both forms express yearly frequency, though in practice évente is common in everyday language and in many written contexts, while évenként is frequently found in more formal or statistical contexts such as reports and schedules.

Usage notes: The adverb is typically combined with a numeral or a frequency word to specify how often something occurs in a year, for example évente egyszer (once a year) or évente kétszer (twice a year). It can also appear in broader phrases describing annual quantities, budgets, or statistics, such as a vállalat évi forgalma, meaning the company’s annual turnover.

Translations and equivalents: The closest English equivalents are annually and per year. In translation, évente often conveys a recurring yearly pattern without specifying the exact count unless a numeral is provided. See also évenként, évi (annual, adjective form).
