Irányulna

Irányulna is the third-person singular conditional mood form of the Hungarian verb irányul, meaning to be directed toward or oriented toward. The base irányul is an intransitive verb used to describe direction or focus, and irányulna is formed by adding the conditional suffix -na to the stem irányul-, producing the sense “would be directed toward.”

Usage of this form is primarily in formal writing, policy analysis, and literary prose to express hypothetical or contingent directions of action, plans, or decisions. In everyday spoken Hungarian, speakers more commonly use other conditional constructions or simpler phrasing, making irányulna relatively rare outside of formal contexts.

Examples include statements about potential directions under certain conditions. For instance: “A projekt a közösségi célok felé irányulna, ha a források rendelkezésre állnának.” “A város stratégiája a fenntarthatóság felé irányulna, ha a gazdasági feltételek ezt lehetővé tennék.” Such sentences illustrate how irányulna conveys a hypothetical orientation or aim.

Etymology and related forms: irányulna derives from the verb irányul, with the conditional suffix -na. Related grammatical forms include the present form irányul and the infinitive irányulni, while other conditional variants use different person endings. The form is primarily of interest in grammar and scholarly descriptions of Hungarian mood and verb morphology.
