Dimenziótól

Dimenziótól is a Hungarian ablative form of the noun dimenzió (dimension). It is created by adding the suffix -tól to the stem and is used to indicate origin or starting point, in both literal and figurative senses. In science, philosophy or everyday language, dimenziótól can specify from which dimension something comes or on which dimension a property depends.

In Hungarian, the ablative suffix is expressed as -tól or -től, depending on vowel harmony. The form -tól is used after back vowels, while -től is used after front vowels. Since dimenzió ends with the back vowel ó, the correct form is dimenziótól. The construction can combine with other endings or words, forming phrases such as dimenziótól függően (depending on the dimension) or dimenziótól függő (dimension-dependent).

Usage examples include both technical and everyday contexts. For instance, a statement like a jelenség dimenziótól függ, meaning “the phenomenon depends on the dimension,” or a model that changes dimenziótól függően, “depending on the dimension.” Conversely, one can express independence from a dimension with a phrase such as nem függ a dimenziótól, “does not depend on the dimension.” The compound dimenziótól is therefore versatile for marking origin, basis, or referential context related to dimensional considerations.

Etymology: dimenzió is borrowed from Latin dimensio (dimension), via European languages, while -tól is a native Hungarian ablative suffix. Dimenziótól remains primarily a linguistic or technical term, with usage concentrated in discussions of dimensions, space, or data structures.
