Alkotássá

Alkotássá is a Hungarian grammatical form formed from the noun alkotás, meaning creation or work of art, with the suffix -ssá. It marks transformation or designation into that thing, functioning as a predicative complement after verbs of becoming or designating, such as válik or nyilvánít. In essence, alkotássá means “into a creation” or “as a creation.”

The form is used in contexts where something is described as being transformed into or recognized as a creation. It appears in artistic, literary, and legal or evaluative language when designating something as a work of art or as a creation. Common constructions include verbs of becoming (válik) or designation (nyilvánít, minősít): for example, alkotássá válik or alkotássá nyilvánítják.

Etymologically, alkotássá is built from alkotás (creation) plus the essive/transformational suffix -ssá, which pairs with vá to indicate change of state. The related term alkotás refers to an act of creating or the product itself, while műalkotás is a compound broader in meaning, denoting a work of art. Alkotássá forms part of the vocabulary surrounding art, creation, and classification, and its use is primarily functional in describing the process of becoming or designating something as a creation.
