célozva

Célozva is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from the verb céloz, meaning to aim or to target. It is most often described as an adverbial participle formed with the suffix -va/-ve. As a participial form, célozva can function as an adjective or as part of a descriptive clause, conveying that an action or object has been aimed at or directed toward a target.

Etymology and formation: The word combines the verb céloz with the suffix -va, producing célozva. This participial construction is one of several participle forms in Hungarian, and it is used to express a resultant or accompanying action related to aiming or targeting. Related forms include the present active participle célozó (aiming) and the past participle célozott (aimed/targeted), which provide related shades of meaning in sentences.

Usage and style: Célozva appears primarily in descriptive, technical, or literary Hungarian. It is less common in everyday speech, where speakers may opt for periphrastic constructions to express aim or targeting. The form is most easily understood in contexts that describe actions directed at a target, such as equipment, strategies, or narrative scenes where aiming is a notable aspect of the verb’s action.
