Kontrolljától

Kontrolljától is a Hungarian postpositional phrase formed from the noun kontroll (control) with the third-person possessive suffix ja and the postpositional suffix tól, meaning “from [someone's] control.” The construction yields kontrollja + tól in standard orthography, resulting in kontrolljától. Grammatically, kontroll serves as the base noun, ja marks possession (whose control), and tól marks origin or source, so the entire form functions as an adverbial phrase indicating the source of control.

Meaning and usage

Kontrolljától can express that something is outside or beyond the influence of a particular person or authority. It is used in contexts involving supervision, regulation, or influence, especially when contrasting what is under someone’s control with what is not. Typical verbs that pair with this phrase include those meaning dependency or independence, such as függ (to depend) or függetlenül (independently). The phrase can be combined with other elements to specify whose control is being referred to, e.g., kontrollja, kontrollja szerint, or simply in the fixed form kontrolljától.

Morphology and variants

The phrase is derived from kontroll + ja + tól. Related forms include kontroll alatt (under control) to denote being under someone’s control, and the broader nominal kontroll with possessive forms (kontrollja, kontrolljuk, etc.) used with other postpositions. Pronunciation follows standard Hungarian phonology, with the suffixes attached in a seamless sequence.
