Technológiáitól

Technológiáitól is a Hungarian postpositional phrase used to indicate origin, source, or dependency on the technologies owned or used by a subject. It combines technológiái, the possessive plural form of technológia (its/their technologies), with the postposition -tól, meaning “from.” The result, technológiáitól, functions as a complement in a sentence to specify that something derives from or depends on those technologies.

Morphology and usage

The base word is technológia (technology). To form technológiáitól, the possessive suffix -ái marks ownership by a third party (its/their technologies), and -tól marks origin. The phrase is commonly used with verbs that express dependence, influence, or origin, such as függ (depends), befolyásol (influences), or alakul (develops). For example: A cég versenyképessége a technológiáitól függ. (The company’s competitiveness depends on its technologies.) A fejlesztések üteme a technológiáitól függően változik. (The pace of developments varies depending on its technologies.)

Linguistic notes

Technológiáitól is a formal, technical-style construction frequently found in economic, policy, and technology discourse. It is not a standalone noun but a case-inflected noun phrase functioning as a dependent element in a sentence. It should be distinguished from forms like technológiáival (with its technologies, i.e., with the technologies themselves) or technológiáinak (to their technologies), which have different syntactic roles.
