feladattól

Feladattól is the ablative form of the Hungarian noun feladat (task, assignment), formed by attaching the suffix -tól to the stem. The phrase means “from the task” or “away from the assignment.” In Hungarian, the ablative suffix marks origin, starting point, or source, and it can express spatial, temporal, causal, or figurative relations. The suffix appears in two orthographic variants of the same suffix, -tól and -től, depending on vowel harmony in the stem.

The primary use of feladattól is to indicate origin or dependence relative to the task. It often appears in expressions that describe how something relates to the assignment. Common constructions include feladattól függően (depending on the task) and feladattól függetlenül (independently of the task). These forms help link consequences, requirements, or decisions to the specific task at hand. The phrase can also introduce comparative or conditional clauses, or specify a reference point in a larger context.

Examples illustrate its use: iskola például feladattól függően változik; könyvtől származó információk esetén más megoldások szükségesek. More general examples are “A feladattól függően módosítják az értékelési szempontokat” and “A feladattól függetlenül mindenki megkapta a feladatlapot.” In everyday language and in formal writing, feladattól helps specify how aspects of a situation depend on or originate from a given task.
