értékbeni

értékbeni is a Hungarian adjective that translates to "in terms of value," "qualitative," or "intrinsic." It is used to describe something that pertains to the inherent worth, quality, or significance of an object, concept, or situation, rather than its quantifiable or monetary value.

When something is described as értékbeni, it refers to its deeper meaning, its essential nature, or its ethical, aesthetic, or emotional importance. For example, one might discuss the értékbeni contribution of a piece of art, meaning its artistic merit or cultural significance, as opposed to its market price. Similarly, the értékbeni aspects of a relationship would focus on trust, love, and mutual respect, rather than the duration or frequency of interaction.

The term is often contrasted with measurable or objective qualities. While something might have a high értékbeni quality, its quantitative aspects could be low, and vice versa. This distinction is important in various contexts, including philosophy, ethics, art criticism, and personal evaluation, where the focus shifts from what can be measured to what holds fundamental importance. It highlights the subjective or intrinsic worth that goes beyond superficial or easily quantifiable metrics.
