Elfordulásnak

Elfordulásnak is a Hungarian noun form derived from the verb elfordul, meaning the act of turning away, rotating, or deflecting from a previous position. The base noun elfordulás covers both physical turning or twisting and more figurative shifts in direction or course. The suffix -nak/-nek marks the dative/possessive constructions in Hungarian, so elfordulásnak can appear in phrases such as the turning toward or for the turning, depending on the sentence.

In general use, elfordulás refers to a deviation from a straight or intended orientation. It can describe a mere change in direction as well as a more pronounced rotation or deflection of an object, limb, mechanism, or system. The term functions across multiple domains without changing its core sense: movement away from a reference line or axis.

In technical contexts, elfordulás denotes angular displacement or deflection. In physics and engineering, it may describe how a component rotates about an axis or how a structure experiences lateral or angular movement under loads. In mechanical design, it helps specify tolerances and behavior of parts that are expected to move or rotate.

In medical and biological language, elfordulás can indicate twisting or displacement of tissues or body parts, sometimes overlapping with terms like torsion or rotation in clinical descriptions. In everyday speech, it can also refer to a figurative turning of events, policy, or process away from a previously intended direction.

Grammar note: elfordulásnak is the dative singular form used in phrases where the turning is the indirect object or when referring to “the turning of X.” For example, elfordulásnak oka means “the cause of the turning.” The form thereby links the concept to its functional role within a sentence.
