átlagolja

Átlagolja is a Hungarian verb that translates to "average" or "to average" in English. It is used in various contexts, particularly when referring to statistical calculations or the process of finding a mean value. The verb is derived from the Hungarian word "átlag," meaning "average."

In mathematical and statistical contexts, átlagolja is used to describe the operation of summing a set of numbers and then dividing by the count of those numbers. For example, one might say "Az osztály átlagolja a vizsgadolgozatait" which means "The class is averaging their exam papers." This implies calculating the average score for the entire class.

Beyond strict mathematical definitions, átlagolja can also be used metaphorically to describe a leveling out or a compromise. If a group of people have differing opinions, they might try to "átlagolja" their views to reach a consensus. In this sense, it signifies finding a middle ground or a common denominator. The verb can also be used in a reflexive form, "átlagolódik," meaning to become averaged or to settle into an average. For instance, "Az árak lassan átlagolódnak" translates to "The prices are slowly averaging out." This suggests a trend towards stability or a typical value.
