bomlásnak

Bomlásnak is the dative singular form of the Hungarian noun bomlás, which denotes the process of decomposition or decay. The noun bomlás covers a range of processes across disciplines, from chemical decomposition to radioactive decay of nuclei, as well as the biological and environmental breakdown of organic matter. The form bomlásnak appears when bomlás is used as an indirect object or in constructions governed by a preposition that requires the dative case, for example in sentences describing something subjected to decay or decay-related processes.

Etymology: bomlás derives from the verb bomlik, meaning to decompose or rot, with the abstract-noun suffix -ás. The word belongs to the core Hungarian vocabulary with roots in the language’s historical development.

In scientific and technical contexts, bomlás is used in phrases such as kémiai bomlás (chemical decomposition) and radioaktív bomlás (radioactive decay). In biology and environmental science, bomlás refers to the decay or spoilage of organic material and to microbial-driven decomposition. In everyday speech, people may describe food, fruit, or other matter as bomlásnak indult or bomlás alatt, depending on the intended sense of decay.

Grammatically, bomlásnak marks the noun bomlás in the dative singular, enabling expressions like a bomlásnak kitett anyag (the material subjected to decay) or similar constructions.
