állapotára

állapotára is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from the noun állapot, meaning state or condition. It represents the allative case form of állapot, used to indicate direction toward or reference to a state of someone or something. In Hungarian, the allative suffix typically appears as -ra or -re, and in this form it follows vowel harmony rules to yield the sequence -ára in állapotára.

Usage and function

The form is used in contexts where the speaker wants to point to or discuss a state as a target of reference, description, or action. It often appears with verbs or expressions that take an allative object or that describe relating to a state, such as phrases meaning “to its state,” “toward its condition,” or “with regard to its state.” It can also function as part of attributive or prepositional phrases, for example in constructions that mean “information concerning its state” or “indications referring to its condition.”

Distinction from related forms

állapotára is distinct from állapotának (the genitive/possessive form meaning “its state”) and from forms like állapotát (the accusative form indicating the state as a direct object). The allative form emphasizes direction toward or reference to the state, rather than possession or direct object role.

Examples (illustrative)

- A jelentés az állapotára utal. (The report refers to its state.)

- Az állapotára vonatkozó információk alapján hozták meg a döntést. (Based on information pertaining to its state, they made the decision.)

- A beteg állapotára figyelmeztető jelzések növelték a sürgősséget. (Signals warning about the patient’s state heightened the urgency.)
