Összegzve

Összegzve is a Hungarian adverbial participle meaning “summed up” or “in summary.” It is used to indicate that preceding information—such as data, findings, or arguments—has been condensed into a concise conclusion. The word often introduces a synthesis or overview that follows a longer description.

Etymology and form: Összegzve is derived from the root összeg-, related to sum or total, with participial suffixes that form a past participle used in an adverbial sense. In formal Hungarian, it functions to signal that what follows is a brief recap of earlier content. The form is typical of written and formal registers and is less common in everyday speech.

Usage and style: In practice, összegzve is used to present a summary of information, especially in academic, legal, or journalistic writing. It can introduce a concluding sentence or paragraph that encapsulates the main points. For everyday language, speakers more often use alternatives such as összefoglalva or röviden, which carry a similar meaning but with a more colloquial tone.

Examples:

- Összegzve a vizsgálat adatait, megállapítottuk, hogy a problémát több tényező okozza.

- Összegzve a feladatokat, a csapat a következő lépéseket vállalta.
