folyamatosának

Folyamatosának is a form found in Hungarian grammar, used mainly in written or scholarly Hungarian. It denotes a genitive or possessive relationship involving the adjective folyamatos, signaling the ongoing or continuous nature of a referenced noun. In English, it can be rendered as “of its continuity” or “its ongoing character,” depending on context.

Formation and function: In Hungarian, possessive suffixes attach to nouns, and in some formal constructions they appear after adjectives that function as determinants within a noun phrase. Folyamatosának is formed by adding the possessive/genitive suffix -ának to the stem folyamatos. The result marks that the head noun has or relates to the property of continuity. The exact interpretation depends on the surrounding syntax and the noun that folyamatosának is describing.

Usage and register: The form is relatively rare and tends to occur in theoretical, philosophical, or formal prose where speakers discuss properties of processes, states, or narratives—specifically aspects related to duration, persistence, or continuity. It is not a common element of everyday spoken Hungarian, where simpler expressions such as folyamatos vagy a folyamatos jelleg might be used instead.

Examples (illustrative): A folyamatosának fenntartása fontos a projekt sikeréhez. This sentence can be read as “Maintaining its continuity is important for the success of the project,” illustrating how the form foregrounds a continuous property.
