Hiányára

Hiányára is a Hungarian noun phrase formed from the noun hiány (meaning lack or absence) plus the allative suffix -ára. The form is used to indicate the cause, basis, or justification for something, roughly translating to “for the lack of” or “due to the lack of” in English. It usually appears in formal or written Hungarian, such as administrative, legal, or academic contexts, where the absence of a resource, data, or condition is cited as a reason for an action or decision.

In practice, hiányára is commonly found in constructions that attribute a consequence to a lack. For example, a sentence might read: “A finanszírozás hiányára tekintettel a beruházást elhalasztották” (They postponed the investment in view of the lack of funding). Another example is: “A kutatás az adatok hiányára hivatkozva korlátozta a vizsgálatot” (The study restricted the examination, citing the lack of data).

Usage notes: the form is characteristic of formal Hungarian and tends to appear with phrases that specify what is missing (the object of hiány). Its meaning can be nuanced by the surrounding verbs and particles (such as tekintettel or hivatkozva). In everyday speech, simpler expressions like “a hiány miatt” or “nincs elég [something]” are more common, but hiányára remains a standard option in official or analytical writing.
