Tudományára

Tudományára is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from the noun tudomány (science) with the directional suffix -ára. The word denotes a reference to science as a target, source of authority, or basis for argument. It is typically used in phrases where science functions as the object of a verb that conveys citing, relying on, or appealing to something.

In usage, tudományára appears in constructions with verbs such as hivatkozik (to refer to or cite) or támaszkodik (to rely on). For example, a sentence like a kutató a tudományára hivatkozva mutatta be az eredményeket means “the researcher, citing science, presented the results.” Similarly, a policy or argument may rely on science as a foundation: A döntés a tudományára támaszkodva született, “the decision was made by relying on science.” The form is also compatible with phrases that mean “to science” in a more general sense, such as épül valamire, where tudományára can be used to indicate that something is built on science.

Grammatically, tudományára is formed by adding the suffix -ára to the stem tudomány, following standard Hungarian vowel harmony rules. It typically appears with definite or broader reference to “the science” in formal or academic discourse, though it can also be used in more general contexts where science is positioned as an evidentiary or authoritative basis.
