magassággá

Magassággá is a Hungarian predicative form derived from the noun magasság (height). It represents the suffixal transformation that turns a noun into a state or quality expressed in a predicative construction, typically with a verb of becoming such as válik or lesz. The form magassággá is produced by attaching the suffix -gá to magasság, and orthographically it appears as magassággá (the final g is doubled). In usage, magassággá functions as a complement that denotes “into height” and is most natural in contexts where a change of state is being described.

Usage and nuance: magassággá is relatively rare outside formal, literary, or technical prose. It is not the common way to express height as a static attribute; rather, it signals a process of becoming or transformation into the quality of height. You may encounter it in architectural descriptions, scientific or philosophical texts, or metaphorical language where a concept or object is described as taking on the status of “height.”

Formation and relation to other forms: The form is related to other predicative suffixes in Hungarian, such as -vá/-vé, but it is built from a noun rather than an adjective stem. The underlying noun magasság supplies the meaning, while the -gá suffix yields a predicative complement that can pair with verbs of becoming.

Examples:

- A torony magassággá válik, amikor megmérik a végleges magasságát.

- A koncepció magassággá válik a szövegben, ha a magasság mint állapot kerül leírásra.
