Folyamatáig

Folyamatáig is a Hungarian temporal expression formed from the noun folyamat (process) and the suffix -áig (up to, until). It denotes the limit of duration of a process or sequence of events and is used in formal or technical language.

Formation and meaning: The suffix -áig attaches to nouns to indicate an endpoint in time or extent; in this case, the process serves as the reference point. The construction emphasizes the boundary of how long the process lasts, rather than the activities that occur within it.

Usage: Folyamatáig is commonly found in legal, administrative, scientific, or procedural texts. It is more formal than everyday language, and in many contexts speakers prefer alternatives such as a folyamat végéig (“until the end of the process”) or folyamat közben (“during the process”) depending on the nuance.

Notes: The expression typically appears in noun phrases or as part of a larger clause describing time limits or conditions tied to a process. Its use tends to signal a precise temporal boundary within formal documentation or technical writing.

Examples:

- A vizsgálat a folyamatáig tart.

- Az adatszolgáltatás a folyamatáig történik.
