Összehasonlításképpen

Összehasonlításképpen is a Hungarian adverb meaning “in comparison” or “for comparison.” It is used to introduce a statement that contrasts or juxtaposes one thing with another, often to highlight differences or similarities. The phrase is common in formal writing, such as reports or analyses, but it also appears in everyday language when a point is framed by a parallel example.

The term is formed from the noun hasonlítás (comparison) with the prefix össze- and the adverbial suffix -képpen, producing a fixed expression that means “in the manner of comparison.” It typically appears at the start of a clause and is followed by a comma: Összehasonlításképpen, … It can be translated as “in comparison,” “by way of comparison,” or “to compare.” In some contexts, it can be replaced by related formulations such as hasonlóképpen (likewise) or példaképpen (for example), depending on nuance.

Examples of use include: Összehasonlításképpen, az idei adatok 5%-kal növekedtek tavalyhoz képest. Összehasonlításképpen, a városi közlekedésben új trendek figyelhetők meg a vidékið illetően. The phrase helps organize argumentation by anchoring a statement to a reference point or benchmark.
