Akaratukból

Akaratukból is a Hungarian adverbial expression meaning “from their own will” or “of their own accord.” It combines the noun akarat (will, intention) with the possessive suffix -uk (their) and the postpositional suffix -ból (from). The phrase is used to attribute an action, decision, or stance to the voluntary choice of the subjects, indicating that there was no external pressure or coercion.

Morphology and usage can be described as follows: akaratukból is typically attached to verbs or clauses to express voluntariness by a plural subject. It often appears in formal or descriptive registers, including legal, administrative, or ethical contexts, but can occur in narrative prose as well. It contrasts with expressions such as kényszerből (under coercion) or kényszer hatására (under pressure) to clarify the motivation behind an action.

Examples:

- A döntést akaratukból hozták meg. (They made the decision of their own will.)

- A dolgozók akaratukból vállalták a feladatot. (The workers undertook the task of their own accord.)

- Az önkéntesek akaratukból csatlakoztak a projektünkhöz. (The volunteers joined the project of their own will.)

Etymology and related terms: akarat means will or intention; -uk marks the third-person plural possessive; -ból denotes “from.” Related expressions include önként (voluntarily) and kényszer nélkül (without coercion).
