Minimalizálásához

Minimalizálásához is a Hungarian grammatical construction that expresses the purpose of reducing something. It combines the verb minimalizál (to minimize) with the nominalizer -ás to form minimalizálás (minimization), and the suffix -ához to indicate intention or purpose, roughly translating to “for minimizing” or “to minimize.” This form is typically followed by a noun or noun phrase indicating what is being minimized, for example a költségek minimalizálásához means “for minimizing costs.”

In use, minimalizálásához appears in formal or technical contexts such as business, engineering, and policy, where actions are described with a view to reducing adverse factors. Examples include statements like az adatok méretének minimalizálásához szükséges tömörítési technikák (compression techniques needed for minimizing data size) or a környezeti hatások minimalizálásához bevezetett intézkedések (measures introduced to minimize environmental impacts). The construction helps link the objective of a plan or action directly to what is being reduced.

Etymology and note on usage: minimalizálásához derives from the verb minimalizál, influenced by English minimize, with the Hungarian -ás forming a noun, and -ához marking purpose. It is more common in written, technical, or formal Hungarian than in casual speech, where simpler phrases such as “a költségek csökkentése érdekében” might be used. Related concepts include minimalizálás (minimization) and, in mathematics and optimization, the broader idea of function minimization or cost minimization.
