Utánzására

Utánzására is a Hungarian phrase meaning “for imitation of” or “in imitation of.” It is formed from the noun utánzás (imitation, mimicry) combined with the allative suffix -ára, which in Hungarian expresses purpose or direction. The resulting form is used to specify the target of imitation and is typically followed in a full sentence by a verb or clause describing the act of imitating.

Use and construction: In practice, utánzására introduces what is being imitated, with the surrounding verb indicating the action or context. The target of imitation is usually a person, style, work, or behavior, expressed as a noun before -ára, e.g., híresség utánzására (“for imitating a celebrity”). The construction is common in literary criticism, journalism, film studies, and linguistic discussions of mimicry.

Synonyms and related terms: utánozás and utánzás are close in meaning; utánozás tends to be used for general imitation or mimicking as a behavior, while utánzás emphasizes the act or process of imitation. The phrase is relatively formal and may appear in scholarly or descriptive writing.

Examples:

- A jelenet a híresség mozgásának utánzására épült. (The scene was built for imitating the celebrity’s movements.)

- A kampány a híresség szokásainak utánzására törekedett. (The campaign aimed at imitating the celebrity’s habits.)
