formátumból

Formátumból is the elative case form of the Hungarian noun formátum, meaning “format.” It is used to express origin, source, or extraction from a format. In Hungarian, the elative suffix -ból/-ből changes to -ból after back vowels or consonants; since formátum ends with a back vowel (u) and a consonant, the correct form is formátumból. The word is typically pronounced with stress on the first syllable: FOR-má-tum-ból.

Etymology and morphology: formátum is a loanword in Hungarian, derived from Latin formatum (and widely used in technology to denote file types and structures). The elative suffix -ból attaches to the stem to indicate “out of” or “from,” producing formátumból. This pattern is part of Hungarian case morphology, where case endings signal relationships and relationships between elements within a sentence without prepositions.

Usage: formátumból appears mainly in technical, computing, or data contexts. It denotes origin or extraction from a given format. Examples include:

- A dokumentum adatai a formátumból származnak. (The document’s data originate from the format.)

- A beolvasott adatok formátumból származó metaadatokra épülnek. (The read data rely on metadata from the format.)

In general, it is used whenever one wants to indicate that something comes from, or is derived from, a specific format.

Related terms: the concept belongs to Hungarian grammar as a case form (elative) and is commonly used together with nouns describing formats or file types, such as formátum, fájlformátum, vagy adatformátum. See also elative case, formátum, and Hungarian postpositional morphology.
