Tartóssá

Tartóssá is a Hungarian derivational form built from the adjective tartós, meaning durable or lasting. In grammar, tartóssá functions as a predicative or result-state form used to express the idea of becoming or being made durable. It is commonly found in constructions with verbs of becoming (such as válni) or making (such as tenni).

The form is used to indicate a state resulting from a process. With the auxiliary idea of becoming, the typical constructions are tartóssá válni ("to become durable") or tartóssá tétel/tételének used to express the act of making something durable. In this sense, tartóssá acts as a complement that describes the outcome of an action rather than a direct attribute of the subject.

Semantically, tartóssá denotes longevity, stability, and resistance to wear or environmental effects. It is especially common in technical, engineering, and materials contexts where long-term performance is important. The broader noun for the concept is tartósság, while tartóssá itself is the form that participates in predicative and causative constructions.

Examples:

- A felület tartóssá vált a környezeti hatásokkal szemben. (The surface became durable against environmental effects.)

- A gyártási folyamat célja a tartóssá tételének elérése. (The production process aims to achieve making it durable.)

- A tartósságnak köszönhetően a termék hosszú élettartamú. (Thanks to its durability, the product has a long service life.)
