Archiváltságának

Archiváltságának is the Hungarian possessive form derived from archiváltság, a noun that denotes the process or state of archiving. In practical terms, archiváltságának means “the archiving status of it” or “its archiving” and is used in phrases where the archiving state belongs to or concerns a specific subject. It is most commonly seen in technical or bureaucratic language, such as library science, records management, or archival documentation.

Morphology and formation

The word is formed by combining the base archiváltság (the abstract noun for archiving) with the possessive suffix -ának, which marks third-person singular possession in Hungarian. The resulting form appears in contexts where a head noun (the possessor) is explicit in the surrounding text, for example in expressions like "a dokumentum archiváltságának megállapítása" meaning “the determination of the document’s archiving status.”

Etymology and related terms

Archiváltság is built from archiválás (to archive) plus the abstract-noun suffix -tság, yielding the concept of the act or state of archiving. Archiváltságának then expresses possession or association with that state. Related terms include archiválás (archiving), archívum (archive), and archívumi practices in archival science.

Usage and nuance

As a grammatical form, archiváltságának is not a standalone concept but a morphological tool to link an object to its archiving status within a larger noun phrase. Its exact meaning depends on the surrounding sentence and the implied possessor, typically clarified by context.
