Számítását

számítását is a Hungarian noun form meaning the calculation or computation of something, expressed in the definite accusative singular. It is the direct object form used when the speaker refers to a specific calculation that is already understood from context, for example a particular computation performed on data or within a project. In everyday language it appears in phrases such as a számítását végezte (he/she carried out its calculation) or a számítását szem előtt tartva (taking its calculation into account).

Morphology and usage

The base noun is számítás, meaning calculation or computation. The suffix -át marks the definite accusative singular, which is used when a determiner or possessive attaches to the noun, signaling that the speaker has a definite calculation in mind. This form contrasts with the indefinite accusative, which would be számítást and is less common in contexts where a specific calculation is being discussed. The construction is common in technical, financial, scientific, and academic texts, where precise reference to a particular calculation is necessary.

Etymology and related terms

Számítás derives from számolni (to count, to compute) with the nominalizing suffix -ítás, indicating an action or process. The root szám means number. Related terms include számítási (adjective form related to calculation), számítási módszer (computational method), and számoló (calculator or computer). The phrase számítását thus ties the act of counting or computing to a definite object in discourse.

Context

In Hungarian prose, számítását appears whenever a specific computation is being discussed as a bounded unit within larger reasoning, analysis, or reporting. Its precise use helps to distinguish a particular calculation from general concepts of counting or arithmetic.
