Hajlamosabbak

Hajlamosabbak is a Hungarian grammatical form that functions as the plural nominative of the comparative adjective hajlamosabb, which itself comes from the adjective hajlamos meaning inclined or prone. The expression literally means “the more inclined ones” or “the more prone people/things” and is used to refer to a group characterized by a greater tendency toward a specified behavior or outcome.

Etymology: The base adjective hajlamos derives from the root hajl- meaning to bend or incline, augmented by the comparative suffix -abb to form hajlamosabb, and finally the plural ending -ak/-ek to yield hajlamosabbak in the nominative plural. This structure mirrors other Hungarian adjectives that describe a demographic or group attribute in plural form.

Usage: It describes groups rather than individuals, though it can appear with singular subjects when phrased as hajlamosabb in an attributive sense. It commonly collocates with phrases indicating the tendency, such as a hibázni (to make mistakes) or a kockázatvállalásra (to take risks). Example: A fiatalabbak hajlamosabbak hibázni. Another example: A bizonytalan környezetben hajlamosabbak a gyors döntésekre.

See also: Related terms include hajlamos and hajlam, which refer to predisposition or inclination in a broader sense. In usage, hajlamosabbak serves as a versatile descriptor for groups with higher propensity toward a given outcome.
