Diffundálva

Diffundálva is a Hungarian participial form of the verb diffundál, meaning that something has been diffused or permeated through a medium. It functions as an adjective or as an adverbial participle (határozói igenév), describing the resultant state produced by diffusion or indicating the manner in which diffusion occurred.

Etymology and form: the word is built from the verb diffundál with the participial suffix -va/-ve, yielding the past participle form diffundálva. It belongs to a set of terms used in technical language to express diffusion and spreading phenomena. In many contexts, diffundálva coexists with or is superseded by the plain past participle diffundált, which is more common in everyday prose, while diffundálva emphasizes the process state or describes a participial clause.

Usage and context: the term appears mainly in scientific and technical writing—chemistry, physics, biology, and medicine—to denote substances, signals, or influences that have diffused through a medium. It may be used to introduce descriptions of diffusion in a state resulting from the process, or to form descriptive phrases such as diffundálva a membránon át haladó jelenségek. In general prose, speakers often choose diffundált or other more common descriptors, depending on nuance and register.

Relation to related terms: diffúzió is the noun for diffusion, diffúz means diffuse or spread out, and határozói igenév refers to the adverbial participle form of verbs, including diffundál. Diffundálva thus occupies a narrower, more formal niche within the language’s scientific vocabulary.
