Kompatibilitástól

Kompatibilitástól is the ablative singular form of the Hungarian noun kompatibilitás, meaning compatibility. In Hungarian, this form marks origin, source, or a conditional relationship, and it is commonly used to express that something depends on or arises from compatibility between elements such as software, hardware, or systems. The phrase is typically found in formal or technical contexts.

Grammatical notes: kompatibilitás is a abstract noun formed with the suffix -tás to indicate the concept of compatibility. The ablative case suffix -tól then appears to denote “from” or “as a function of.” When used with verbs like függ (to depend), kompatibilitástól serves as the object of the dependence, e.g., “A program futása a kompatibilitástól függ” (The program’s operation depends on compatibility). It can also appear in expressions about conditional outcomes or requirements tied to compatibility.

Usage examples:

- A szoftver futása a kompatibilitástól függ.

- A hardver és a szoftver közötti együttműködés a kompatibilitástól függ.

- A frissítések kiadása a kompatibilitástól függően változhat.

Etymology and scope: the term derives from kompatibilitás, a Hungarian lexical item borrowed into the language to denote the quality of being compatible. Kompatibilitástól is widely used in tech writing, documentation, and analytical prose to indicate that results, behaviors, or decisions hinge on whether components are compatible. Alternatives in Hungarian include visszaható vagy kapcsolódó kifejezések, de kompatibilitástól remains a standard idiomatic form for dependence on compatibility.
