mintája

Mintája is the possessive form of the Hungarian noun minta, which can mean a sample, pattern, template, or model. The word functions to express that something relates to or possesses a sample or pattern. In Hungarian morphology, mintája is formed by adding the third-person singular possessive suffix -ja to minta; the final vowel remains consistent with vowel harmony, so from minta the form mintája is produced.

Usage: It is used in contexts where a sample or its representation is being discussed, especially in design, manufacturing, quality control, and research. For example: "A minta mintája alapján készítettük el a prototípust." "Az összes minta mintája megegyezik a rajz mintájával." These illustrate how mintája links a thing to its corresponding sample or pattern.

Note: Mintája is not a standalone lexical entry; rather it is a grammatical form that may be seen in compound phrases such as "a minta mintája" (the sample's pattern) or "egy minta mintája" (a sample's pattern). The form is common in technical and descriptive Hungarian to reference the representation or template associated with a given item.
