fordítása

Fordítása is a Hungarian noun derived from the verb fordítani, meaning to translate. The basic noun for the act or result of translation is fordítás. Fordítása functions as the possessive form of fordítás, used to refer to a specific translation that belongs to someone or to indicate the translation of a particular work within a possessive construction. In practice, common phrases include ennek a műnek a fordítása (the translation of this work) or az ő fordítása (his/her translation).

In usage, fordítása typically appears in noun phrases with a preceding possessive or demonstrative element, and it is less common as a stand-alone head noun than fordítás. The form is especially useful when attribution or ownership needs to be highlighted, as in "Ennek a könyvnek a fordítása jó minőségű" (The translation of this book is of good quality).

Meaningwise, fordítása can denote either the act of translating a text by a particular translator or the finished translation product associated with a specific author or work. In everyday language, the neutral term for translation remains fordítás, while fordítása is encountered primarily in phrases that require specification of ownership or relation to a specific source text.

In academic contexts such as translation studies or literary analysis, the general field is still referred to as fordítás, with examples like kutatások a fordítás elméletéről, rather than focusing on the possessive form fordítása. See also: fordítás, fordító, fordítástudomány.
