Realitását

Realitását is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from the noun realitás, which means reality. The word realitás covers the concept of what exists in fact, as opposed to illusion or appearance. Realitását functions as a definite direct object form that expresses “its reality,” or more broadly, “the reality of X,” depending on the preceding context.

Etymology and usage context: The base noun realitás is a loan from Latin realitas and is used in philosophy, social science, and formal discourse, as well as in everyday language when a more technical or nuanced sense of reality is intended. Realitását appears most often in written Hungarian when the speaker wants to specify the reality of a particular subject or phenomenon as a definite object of a verb.

Grammar and formation: Realitás takes a third-person possessive suffix to form realitása, meaning “its reality” (or “the reality of it”). The definite direct object suffix -t attaches to the possessed form, yielding realitását. This combination signals that the speaker treats the referenced reality as a definite, identifiable object within the sentence.

Usage notes and examples: Realitását is common in academic and analytical writing. Examples include: “A jelenség realitását vitatják,” meaning “They challenge the reality of the phenomenon,” and “A kiállítás a realitását alátámasztó bizonyítékokról szól,” meaning “The exhibition concerns the evidence supporting the reality of the exhibit.” In everyday Hungarian, simpler terms like valóság may be preferred, but realitás appears when a more precise or technical sense of reality is intended.
