Prioritása

Prioritása is a Hungarian noun used to denote ownership of priority, effectively meaning “its priority” or “the priority of X.” It is formed from prioritás (priority) by adding the third-person possessive suffix -a, with vowel harmony adjusting the ending as needed. Thus prioritása literally expresses that a thing or subject has a certain priority.

Etymology and usage context: Prioritás, the base word, is a loanword in Hungarian that traces back to Latin prioritās and has manifestations in several European languages. In Hungarian, prioritás is used widely in business, project management, policy, and everyday language to refer to what should be prioritized. The possessive form prioritása is used when specifying whose priority is being discussed, for example in phrases like “A projekt prioritása” (the project’s priority) or “A vállalat prioritása” (the company’s priority).

Examples and nuance: Hungarian sentences illustrate how prioritása functions in context. Examples include: “A projekt prioritása az időben történő befejezés,” meaning “The project’s priority is to finish on time.” “A vállalat prioritása a minőség” translates to “The company’s priority is quality.” For contexts referring to multiple priorities or to possessive plural expressions, Hungarian uses related forms such as prioritások (priorities) or prioritásai (its/their priorities), depending on grammatical role and number.

Related forms and translations: Prioritás is the base form meaning “priority.” Plural and possessive variations adjust for number and person, yielding forms like prioritások (priorities) and prioritásai (its/their priorities). In professional contexts, prioritása often appears in planning, scheduling, and strategic discussions to identify what should be addressed first.
