Alapjainak

Alapjainak is a Hungarian noun phrase meaning “its foundations” or “the foundations of something.” It refers to the underlying bases, core elements, or fundamental aspects on which something is built, operated, or understood. It is commonly used in both architectural and abstract contexts to indicate the essential supports or principles of a person, organization, structure, idea, or system.

Etymology and grammatical notes: alap means foundation or base in Hungarian. The form alapjainak combines the base word with the possessive and plural suffixes to indicate ownership or association with multiple foundations. The phrase typically functions as a noun phrase within a sentence, often serving as the object of verbs such as megerősíteni (to reinforce), megváltoztatni (to change), vagy megőrizni (to preserve).

Usage and examples:

- Az épület alapjainak megerősítése fontos a tartósság szempontjából. (Reinforcing the building’s foundations is important for durability.)

- A vállalat alapjainak megőrzése érdekében felülvizsgálták a finanszírozási struktúrát. (To preserve the company’s foundations, they reviewed the financing structure.)

- A társadalom alapjainak megingása aggodalmakat váltott ki. (The weakening of the foundations of society raised concerns.)

In contemporary Hungarian, alapjainak appears mainly in formal or technical prose and in metaphorical discussions about the essential underpinnings of a system or argument. See also alap (foundation) and alapok (foundations).
