anyagától

Anyagától is a Hungarian postpositional phrase used to indicate origin or dependency on the material of an object. The form is built from the noun anyag (material) with the possessive suffix that marks “its material,” followed by the from- particle tól, yielding anyagától. In essence, the phrase means “from its material” and is often used to express that a property, behavior, or decision depends on the material in question.

In practice, anyagától functions as an adverbial modifier, providing a criterion or context for a statement. It is common in technical, manufacturing, and materials-related discourse, where different materials require different procedures or yield different results. For example: A megmunkálási mód az anyagától függ. (The method of machining depends on the material.) Az anyagától függően válasszuk ki a megmunkálási technikát. (Choose the machining technique depending on the material.) A textíliák szakítószilárdsága pedig az anyagától függ. (The tensile strength of textiles depends on the material.)

Etymology and morphology: anyag is the base noun; the possessive suffix -a indicates “its material,” and -tól marks the from-origin. The combination forms a stable phrase used specifically to link a statement to the material in question. The expression contrasts with clearer directional forms like anyagból (from the material) by emphasizing material-based variation or criterion rather than mere location or source.
