Motivációvá

Motivációvá is a Hungarian grammatical form created by attaching the suffix -vá to the noun motiváció. It is used with the verb válik ("to become") to express a transformation into motivation or into a motive. The construction frames a change of state, indicating that something becomes the motivation rather than simply being motivated.

The standard usage is motivációvá válik, meaning “becomes motivation.” For example: Ez a cél motivációvá válik a csapat számára. The form can also appear in past or conditional tenses: A projekt motivációvá vált az utolsó felülvizsgálat után. The -vá/-vé suffix has two allomorphs, -vá and -vé, and the choice depends on vowel harmony with the final vowel of the base stem (generally -vá after back vowels, -vé after front vowels).

Notes on nuance and scope: motivációvá emphasizes the perceptible change into the concept of motivation, often in contexts like planning, motivation analysis, or discussions of causes and drivers. It is primarily used in formal or written Hungarian, but it can appear in spoken language as well when a precise predicative meaning is needed.

Related forms and alternatives: In some contexts, Hungarian can also express “as motivation” with other constructions such as motivációként or szolgál motivációként, but motivációvá vált and its variants specifically highlight transformation into the concept of motivation through the verb válik.
