alkalmaznia

alkalmaznia is the infinitival form of the Hungarian verb alkalmazni, which means to employ, to apply, or to use something for a purpose. The basic meaning remains the same as the simple infinitive alkalmazni, but alkalmaznia appears in specific syntactic contexts as a non-finite form used with certain verbs and constructions.

In grammar, alkalmaznia functions as an infinitive with a suffix that appears in dependent clauses or after modal auxiliaries. It is commonly found in sentences where the action is expressed as a necessity, possibility, or intention, typically under a control verb such as kell, lehet, vagy akar. For example, in meg‑kell alkalmaznia ezt a módszert, the auxiliary word kell signals necessity, and the infinitive alkalmaznia governs the action to be taken; the subject is supplied by the main clause, not inside the infinitive.

Usage notes: alkalmaznia does not introduce a separate lexical meaning from alkalmazni. It is mainly a syntactic variant used in controlled infinitive clauses, especially after modal or predicative verbs. In many contexts, the simpler form alkalmazni is also possible, but alkalmaznia is preferred in certain grammatical constructions.

Related terms include aplicada alkalmazás (application, implementation), alkalmazott (employee), and alkalmazó (employer or user, depending on context). The verb family also yields nouns such as alkalmazás (application or employment) and adjectives such as alkalmazott/-ott.

Examples:

- Meg kell alkalmaznia ezt a módszert. (You must apply this method.)

- Az előadás arról szól, hogyan kell alkalmaznia a protokollt a gyakorlatban.
