másolását

Másolását is the definite accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun másolás, which means copying or duplication. It is used when the action of copying is treated as a specific, identifiable object within a sentence, typically with a verb that governs a definite object or within a noun phrase referring to a particular instance of copying.

In grammar, másolás is a nominalized form of the verb másolni (to copy). The definite accusative form, as in másolását, marks that the copying in question is known to both speaker and listener. This contrasts with the indefinite accusative form másolást, which would be used for a non-specific instance of copying. The form másolását thus appears in contexts where precision or reference to a concrete copying action is important, such as legal, administrative, or technical language.

Common usages include phrases like az adatok másolását or a dokumentum másolását, where the noun phrase denotes the act or result of copying a particular set of data or a specific document. For example: A dokumentum másolását a titkárság készítette. Az adatok másolását szigorúan tilos engedély nélkül végezni. These examples illustrate how másolását functions as the direct object of verbs describing actions related to copying.
