Bizalomtól

Bizalomtól is a form of the noun bizalom in Hungarian, specifically the elative case used to express origin, source, or basis. In practice, bizalomtól means “from trust” or “based on trust” and is used to indicate that something is conditioned by or derived from trust, confidence, or public confidence. The expression commonly appears in both everyday language and formal discourse when describing how actions, legitimacy, or stability depend on trust.

Etymology and form: The word bizalom derives from the verb bízni (to trust). The suffix -tól marks origin or source, producing bizalomtól. This construction is flexible and can combine with adjectives or nouns to form phrases such as bizalomtól függő (dependent on trust) or bizalomtól vezérelt (driven by trust).

Usage and nuance: Bizalomtól is frequently used to discuss the role of trust as a determinant in social and political contexts. Common statements include: a döntés a bizalomtól függ (the decision depends on trust) and a kormány stabilitása a polgárok bizalmától függ (the government’s stability depends on the people’s trust). The expression highlights trust as a basis for legitimacy, cooperation, or effective functioning of institutions. In many cases it appears in conjunction with phrases describing dependence or influence, and can be extended with modifiers to form more specific meanings.
