Lazábbá

Lazábbá is a Hungarian grammatical form used to express a transformation into a more relaxed or less strict state. It is not a standalone lexical item; rather, it is the infinitival complement of the phrase lazábbá válni (to become lazier/more relaxed) or lazábbá tenni (to make something laxer). The form combines the comparative adjective lazább (lazier) with the suffix -á to create an infinitive-like element that governs a following verb such as válni or tenni.

Morphology and usage

Lazábbá is created from the base adjective lazább and the infinitive-transformation suffix -á. In practice, it appears in constructions that describe a change of state. The core pattern is [adjective in comparative form] + lazábbá + válni or lazábbá tenni, yielding phrases meaning “to become more lazy/relaxed” or “to make something more lazy/relaxed.” For example, lazábbá válik means “it becomes laxer,” while lazábbá tenni a szabályokat means “to make the rules laxer.” This form is primarily syntactic, signaling a process of transformation rather than functioning as an independent lexical verb.

Examples

- A munkahelyi kultúra lazábbá válik az év végére. (The workplace culture becomes laxer by the end of the year.)

- A cég lazábbá tette a szabályokat. (The company made the rules laxer.)

- A vezetés lazábbá válik a kommunikációban. (Management becomes laxer in communication.)

Notes

Lazábbá is closely related to other transformation forms in Hungarian that use -abbá/-ebbé with válni or tenni to denote changing into a different state. It is primarily a functional element in descriptions of change, rather than a freely used standalone verb.
