Questions & Answers about Tekintettel arra, hogy rossz a jelerősség, helyszíni felmérést kérek.

What does tekintettel arra, hogy do in this sentence?

It is a fixed, fairly formal connector meaning something like considering that, in view of the fact that, or given that.

So this part introduces the reason/background for the request.

A very literal breakdown is:

• tekintettel = with regard / considering
• arra = to that
• hogy = that

But in real Hungarian, you should learn tekintettel arra, hogy as one unit.

Why are both arra and hogy needed? Why not just one of them?

This is a common Hungarian pattern.

Certain words and expressions take a pronoun first, and then a hogy-clause explains what that pronoun refers to. So arra points forward to the whole clause that comes after it.

You can think of it like:

• tekintettel arra = with regard to that
• hogy rossz a jelerősség = that the signal strength is bad

So together: with regard to the fact that the signal strength is bad.

English usually does not need this extra pointer word, but Hungarian often does.
