mintázatát

Mintázatát is a Hungarian linguistic form that appears in reference to the concept of a pattern or design. The base noun mintázat denotes an arrangement, motif, or decorative pattern found on textiles, objects, surfaces, or in nature, as well as abstract regularities such as patterns in data or phenomena. The form mintázatát is the definite accusative singular of mintázat, used when the pattern is the direct object of a sentence. In typical usage, the surrounding words indicate what possesses or relates to the pattern, for example through a noun phrase such as a garment or a chart.

The word is closely related to mintázat etymologically, which derives from mintázni (to pattern, to mime or imitate) and from mintaminta (minta, pattern or sample). In Hungarian, mintázat is part of a broad family around pattern, design, and motif, including synonyms like minta and motív, with mintázat often emphasizing a repeatable or designed arrangement rather than a single instance.

Usage notes:

- Mintázatát commonly appears in contexts such as textiles, art, architecture, and design, where a specific pattern on fabric or surface is discussed as a thing to be examined, changed, or described.

- It can also be used more abstractly to refer to recurring arrangements in data, nature, or behavior, for example in analyses of patterns in graphs or phenomena.

Examples:

- A ruha mintázatát megváltoztatták. (The dress’s pattern was changed.)

- A grafikon mintázatát elemezték. (They analyzed the pattern of the graph.)
