Hiányosságáért

Hiányosságáért is a Hungarian phrase used to attribute responsibility for a deficiency or shortcoming. It is formed from the noun hiányosság (deficiency, shortcoming) plus the suffix -áért, which marks purpose, cause, or responsibility, giving the sense of “for the deficiency” or “for its deficiency.” In standard usage, hiányosságáért functions as a prepositional phrase that can be the object of verbs expressing accountability, such as felelni or vállalni (to be responsible for, to assume responsibility for).

The phrase is common in formal and administrative language, including legal texts, audits, quality control reports, and corporate or public-sector communications. It helps clearly designate accountability for a defect, error, or shortcoming in processes, products, or services. While often translated as “for the deficiency” in English, its primary function is to denote responsibility rather than mere causation.

Examples:

- A gyártó a hiányosságáért felelős. (The manufacturer is responsible for the deficiency.)

- A vizsgálat megállapította, hogy a hiányosságáért a beszállító felelős. (The investigation determined that the supplier is responsible for the deficiency.)

Etymology and form: hiányosság means deficiency, and -áért attaches to indicate responsibility or accountability “for” that deficiency. The phrase can appear in various syntactic positions within a sentence, frequently following a verb of responsibility and sometimes appearing with related expressions such as miatt or felelős.
