folyását

Folyás is a Hungarian noun that describes the act or state of flowing, most commonly used to refer to the movement of liquids in nature or in engineered systems, such as rivers, streams, pipes, or channels. The form folyását is the possessive or object form of folyás (its flow), and it appears in sentences where the flow of a subject is being discussed or measured.

In hydrology and water management, folyás denotes the discharge or rate at which water moves through a channel. It can be expressed in quantities such as cubic meters per second and is influenced by precipitation, snowmelt, groundwater input, evaporation, and human alterations like dams, reservoirs, and irrigation networks. Monitoring folyását is essential for flood forecasting, water resource planning, and environmental management, as it helps assess water availability, sediment transport, and ecological conditions.

Beyond hydrology, folyás also has a figurative use in Hungarian. It can describe the progression or course of events, processes, or conditions, such as the development of a disease or the course of a project. In this sense, itszt is synonymous with the term lefolyás or menete, depending on context. The word is widely used in technical, scientific, and everyday language to convey how something unfolds over time.

Etymologically, folyás derives from the verb folyni, meaning to flow. The related forms and phrases are common in Hungarian descriptions of natural phenomena as well as in discussions of processes and change.
