Abbahagyáskor

Abbahagyáskor is a Hungarian temporal form derived from the noun abbahagyás, meaning the act of stopping or giving up. The suffix -kor marks a specific point in time, so abbahagyáskor literally means "at the time of the cessation" or "upon quitting." It is used to indicate the exact moment an action ends, a process halts, or a state changes due to cessation.

Usage and context

The expression is typical of formal or written language, including legal documents, administrative procedures, contracts, and reports, where it is important to pinpoint when an event occurs or a duty ends. It is less common in everyday speech, where speakers might use more general phrases such as "az adott időpontban" or "abban az időben" to convey a similar meaning. In sentences, abbahagyáskor can function as a temporal modifier: "A szerződés abbahagyásakor a felek kötelezettségei megszűnnek."

Grammar and form

Abbahagyáskor is formed from the noun abbahagyás plus the temporal suffix -kor, creating a fixed temporal expression. It can modify a clause or act as a stand-alone temporal adjunct within a sentence. As a compound noun with a time marker, it is primarily used to specify a precise moment rather than describe ongoing processes.
