kategóriájú

Kategóriájú is a Hungarian adjective meaning “of a category” or “categorized,” used to describe nouns that belong to a particular category or classification. It is formed from the noun kategória (category) plus the adjectival suffix -jű/-jú, which indicates a characteristic or possessed quality. The form agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case, for example kategóriájú termék (a category-specific product) and kategóriájú termékek (category-specific products). In general use, kategóriájú is common in technical, administrative, or cataloging contexts where items are grouped by predefined categories.

Etymology and formation: The base word kategória comes from the Latin catégoria, via Greek katēgoria and often through French or other Western European languages. The Hungarian suffix -jű/-jú creates adjectives meaning “having the quality of” or “belonging to,” so kategóriájú literally signals that something belongs to a particular category. The construction is productive in Hungarian and can be applied to many nouns to form category-based descriptors.

Usage and contexts: Kategóriájú is typically found in formal or technical writing, such as inventories, databases, libraries, statistics, and regulatory documents. It helps specify that an item is classified under a given category, as in kategóriájú termékek (products within a given category) or kategóriájú adatok (category-specific data). It can also appear in analyses and classifications where items are grouped by predefined categories.
