Szükségessé

Szükségessé is a bound verbal form in Hungarian that serves as the stem for constructions meaning to render something necessary. It is not used as an independent verb in ordinary speech; instead it appears in phrases built with the infinitive tenni (to make) or with the verb válni (to become). The form is derived from the noun szükség (need) with a causative suffix -essé, yielding a stem that expresses turning a state or condition into a necessity.

Usage and grammar

Szükségessé is used in two main patterns. With tenni, it forms a causative phrase meaning to render something necessary, as in szükségessé tenni valamit (to make something necessary). With válni, it participates in expressions meaning to become necessary, as in szükségessé válni (to become necessary). In finite clauses, it can occur as part of verbs like teszi (he makes it necessary) or válik (it becomes necessary). The construction is common in formal, legal, or policy language, where specifying requirements and their justification is routine.

Examples

A döntés szükségessé teszi a gyors intézkedést. (The decision makes rapid action necessary.)

Ez a körülmény szükségessé válik. (This circumstance becomes necessary.)

A hiányosságok ezt szükségessé teszik. (The deficiencies render this necessary.)

Relation to other terms

Szükségessé is related to the adjective szükséges (necessary), but it expresses a process—causing or becoming a necessity—rather than a static property. It forms part of a family of expressions based on szükség, including gyakran appearing in legal, administrative, or analytical writing.
