fenttartja

Fenttartja is not a standard Hungarian spelling for a common verb form. In standard orthography the correct form is fenntartja, which is the third-person singular present tense of fenntartani and means to maintain, sustain, or fund. The variant fenttartja is a frequent misspelling or typographical error, often arising from confusion with related forms or from misreading the double-n in Hungarian compounds.

Etymology and form: fenntartja is derived from the verb fenntartani, built on the root tart meaning “to hold” with the prefix fen- and the infinitive suffix -ni. In the present tense, the stem fenntart- takes the third-person singular ending -ja, yielding fenntartja. The spelling with a single n in fenttartja does not conform to standard Hungarian orthography.

Usage and senses: The primary sense is to maintain or keep in operation, for example, maintaining a system, service, or process. A second sense is to finance or provide the necessary funds for something to continue, as in funding or sustaining activities. Examples include: "A kormány fenntartja az oktatási rendszert" (The government maintains the education system) and "A vállalat fenntartja a működési költségeket" (The company funds/keeps up the operating costs).

Register and context: fenntartja appears in formal, administrative, legal, and policy contexts, but the concept is common in everyday language when describing ongoing support or continuity. Spelling accuracy is important in Hungarian prose, making fenntartja the preferred form over fenttartja.
