Integrálva

Integrálva is a Hungarian word formed as the past participle of the verb integrálni (to integrate). It functions as an adjective or predicative participle and denotes that something has been brought into a larger whole, merged with other elements, or incorporated into a system or process.

Usage and context

In information technology and systems engineering, integrálva describes components that have been merged into a broader system. For example, a module can be described as be van integrálva a fő rendszerbe (it is integrated into the main system). In business and organizational language, the more common attributive form is integrált (e.g., integrált rendszer, integrált megoldás), while integrálva may emphasize the completed action of having been integrated.

In data management and software development, integration refers to combining data, processes, or services from different sources into a unified whole. Phrases such as adatok integrálva or szolgáltatások integrálva are used to indicate that the integration work has been performed.

In mathematics, the verb integrálni exists, but integrálva is less common in strict mathematical terminology; the object is typically called az integral, and the act is described by integrálás. The broader sense of the term remains the same: inclusion, consolidation, or unification within a larger system.

Etymology and related terms

The word is borrowed from Latin integrāre and has cognates in many languages. Related Hungarian terms include integrálás (the act of integrating), integrálódás (integration in a social or systemic sense), and integrált áramkör (integrated circuit).
