Hey, I'll write a self introduction about myself, I promise, but first of all I have a grammatical question!😆👌🙂💛 (I'm very passionate about English learning and I'm the "lover" of English.❤️‍🩹🫂💛🗣️🌎🌍 I know that it may sound strange, but I'll explain everything later!!!)

I don't know exactly how to express my question, for this one I'd need a person who knows also in English and Hungarian.

(I think it's not necessary for the understanding but I've tried to ask it from native English speakers, my private teacher and also in a moment on HelloTalk*, but it doesn't succeed 😢, that's why I thought about this site.)

The "elvileg" is the contrast of "gyakorlatilag", right? Since I feel yes.
So, I'd have liked to find out what they are in English, that's why I wrote them to the site "Topszótár". You'll see in the picture below what it wrote to me, but I don't understand.
So does the "in principle" mean "elvileg"?
And is "gyakorlatilag" in English "in practice", or not?
So/But what're the "practically ", the "theoretically " and the "technically "??

Please help me to understand!! Thanks in advance!

*Yes, it also plays a big role in my real and honest life, I'm so so sorry, I promise to explain it later![Image]

Answer

I don't know Hungarian, but it seems to be regarding the difference between 'in principle' versus 'in practice.'

'In principle,' is addressing a theoretical case or argument. By nature, theoretical arguments or arguments based on 'principles' are often restricted in their scope--i.e. they may presume 'all else being equal' or otherwise limit the scope of potential factors that could potentially complicate the argument. Something may be true, in principle and in isolation, but, in practice, it may not be true due to the complex nature of real-world systems.

‘In practice,’ ‘in reality,’  or ‘practically speaking’ addresses the real-world execution of a proposed idea/plan. In a real-world case, in contrast to a theoretical case, many unanticipated factors may be operative. The magnitude of the effect of any given factor is also important–i.e. maybe factor A increases a result by 1.25x, whereas an unknown factor B independently increases the same result by 1000x; in this case, in practice, factor B will dominate the measured change in the result and factor A can be viewed as an insignificant contributor.

The word ‘technically’ generally has the same meaning as ‘in principle’ or ‘in theory.’
