meghatározottságától

Meghatározottságától is a Hungarian grammatical form derived from meghatározottság, meaning definiteness or determinacy. The word meghatározottságától is built from meghatározottság, the third-person possessive suffix -a (forming meghatározottsága, “its definiteness”), plus the postposition -tól meaning “from.” Thus the literal sense is “from its definiteness.” In function, the form is used in linguistic or semantic discussion to indicate a relation that originates in or depends on a noun’s definiteness.

Usage and interpretation

Meghatározottságától appears in academic or descriptive texts rather than everyday speech. It serves to foreground how the definiteness of a noun affects interpretation, grammatical behavior, or the choice of accompanying elements in a sentence. For example, a sentence might claim that “the interpretation of the sentence depends on its definiteness,” which can be expressed with a formulation akin to meghatározottságától depending on the surrounding construction.

Morphological notes

The form showcases Hungarian’s combination of possession and case suffixes. After meghatározottság receives the 3rd person possessive suffix -a, the postposition -tól is added to yield meghatározottságától. This pattern demonstrates how definiteness as a grammatical category can interact with spatial or source-related postpositions in discussion of linguistic properties.

Relation to meghatározottság

Meghatározottság tantamounts to the concept of definiteness in Hungarian grammar, contrasting with indefiniteness (határozatlanság). Meghatározottságától is thus a specialized, context-dependent form used to describe the relationship between a noun’s definiteness and another grammatical or semantic element.
