Változatnál

Változatnál is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun változat, meaning variant or version. It consists of the base word változat followed by the locative suffix -nál, which marks location or position in relation to the referent. In practical use, változatnál means “at the variant,” “in the variant,” or “by the variant,” and is typically employed in contexts where distinct variants of a text, software, or other item are being discussed or compared.

Morphology and usage

The suffix -nál is part of Hungarian location expressions and is attached to singular common nouns. The form változatnál is thus a standard, grammatically correct way to point to a specific variant as the site or context of an action or observation. It is primarily found in formal writing, technical documentation, and linguistic descriptions, though it can appear in any register when a precise reference to a particular variant is needed. The plural form would be változatoknál for “at the variants” or “by the variants.”

Examples

- A változatnál található a legújabb funkció. (The latest feature is located at/by the variant.)

- A feladatot a változatnál kell végrehajtani. (The task must be performed at the variant.)

- A változatnál megfigyelhető a különbség. (The difference is observable at the variant.)

Etymology and related forms

Változatnál derives from változat plus the locative suffix -nál. Related terms include változat (variant/version) and verzió (version), which may be used in overlapping but distinct contexts depending on nuance and domain.
