Nyomásoktól

Nyomásoktól is a Hungarian word form that literally translates to “from the pressures.” It is used as an adverbial or prepositional phrase in colloquial and technical speech when attributing an effect, change, or measurement to the presence or action of pressure. The root noun, nyomás, means “pressure” in the sense of physical force per unit area or, more abstractly, social or economic pressure. The suffix –tól is a dative or ablative particle meaning “from” or “by,” marking the source or cause of the following noun or action.

In everyday usage, nyomásoktól is often paired with verbs such as “értékesítette” or “mérik”, for example: “A csapanyag nyomásoktól származó terhelés alatt viselkedik” – “The material behaves under stress derived from pressure.” In medicinal or technical contexts the phrase appears in documentation of devices or substances whose properties vary with pressure, like “nyomásoktól függő transzmissziós szűrő” (pressure‑dependent transmission filter). In literature the expression can appear metaphorically, describing a person who acts because of social pressure, e.g. “A döntés nyomásoktól vezérelt” (the decision was driven by pressure).

Etymologically, nyomással is an older form used historically in the Austro‑Hungarian period. Modern Hungarian grammar treats nyomásoktól as a fixed construction, although regional dialects may render it slightly differently, such as nyomás-tól. The phrase is common in academic writing around physics, engineering, economics, and psychology, where “pressure” has both literal and figurative connotations.
