Összefoglalásképp

Összefoglalásképp is a Hungarian adverbial phrase meaning “in summary” or “in conclusion.” It is built from the noun összefoglalás (summary, recap) and the suffix -képp, which marks manner or form. The expression is used to introduce a concise restatement of the main points of a text, argument, or discussion.

Usage: Összefoglalásképp is typically placed at the start of a concluding sentence or paragraph. It is common in formal or academic writing, reports, and syntheses, where the author wishes to signal that a summarizing conclusion follows. Example: Összefoglalásképp elmondhatjuk, hogy a hipotézis igazolódott.

Etymology and nuance: The phrase has a formal tone and functions similarly to the English “in summary.” It is less common in everyday speech. Contemporary Hungarian often prefers alternatives such as összegzésképpen, összefoglalva, or összegzésként, which may be more natural in many contexts.

Variations and register: The -képp form is part of a broader pattern of Hungarian adverbial expressions describing manner or consequence, such as következtetésképpen (as a conclusion). Depending on the text, Összefoglalásképp can carry a slightly old-fashioned or ceremonial register, so writers may choose more contemporary equivalents when appropriate.
