nyilvánvalóvá

Nyilvánvalóvá is a non-finite verbal form in Hungarian that expresses the act or result of rendering something obvious. It is derived from the adjective nyilvánvaló (obvious) with the suffix -vá and functions primarily within compound verbal constructions. The form occurs most often in combination with the verbs nyilvánvalóvá tenni (to make obvious) or válni (to become obvious).

In use, nyilvánvalóvá appears as the non-finite complement in phrases that describe turning something into the state of being obvious, or as part of a finite verb with nyilvánvalóvá tenni or nyilvánvalóvá válni. Examples include: the facts compared nyilvánvalóvá tették a hibát (the error was made obvious by the comparison of the facts), the phenomenon nyilvánvalóvá válik if we consider the context (the phenomenon becomes obvious when we consider the context), and ez a kijelentés nyilvánvalóvá teszi az érvelés gyengeségét (this statement makes the weakness of the argument obvious).

Etymology and related forms: nyilvánvalóvá tétel is the act of making obvious, while nyilvánvalóvá válik is the standard way to say “becomes obvious.” The base nyilvánvaló means obvious, and the addition of -vá marks the resultative or infinitival sense. Related terms include nyilvánvaló and nyilvánvalóvá tétel, which are used to discuss clarity, evidence, and logical demonstration in Hungarian.
