átjáróként

átjáróként is a Hungarian phrase meaning “as a crossing.” It derives from the noun átjáró, which denotes a crossing or passage, with the suffix -ként that marks a role or function. The construction is used to specify that a given object or space serves in the capacity of a crossing rather than merely being described as one.

In grammar, átjáróként forms an instrumental or adverbial phrase that typically accompanies verbs such as szolgál, funkcionál, vagy használ, to indicate function. For example, Ez az út átjáróként szolgál a gyalogosok számára (This road serves as a crossing for pedestrians). A vasúti átjáróként funkcionál például egy közeli út, amely átíveli a sínpályát (For example, a nearby road functions as a railway crossing by crossing the tracks). The phrase is common in technical, urban planning, and infrastructure descriptions where the role of a structure is being defined.

Usage notes: átjáróként primarily signals function or purpose rather than merely labeling something as a crossing. It can be contrasted with other related terms such as átkelőhely (pedestrian crosswalk), vasúti átjáró (railway level crossing), or kereszteződés (intersection), which emphasize different aspects of crossing infrastructure.
