pontatlanná

Pontatlanná is a Hungarian grammatical form used to express a change of state to "inaccurate." It is derived from the adjective pontatlan (inaccurate) by adding the suffix -ná, resulting in pontatlanná. This predicative participle is used with verbs of becoming, most commonly válik (to become). The form emphasizes the outcome of a process rather than a current attribute.

Usage: It occurs in constructions such as válik pontatlanná or tenni pontatlanná to indicate that something has become inaccurate or has been made inaccurate. It is common in formal, technical, and analytic language and can be inflected for tense and number in clauses, for example: A mérési adatok pontatlanná váltak (The measurement data became inaccurate).

Examples: A jelentés pontatlanná válik, ha hiányos a forrás. A becslést pontatlanná tették a módszertani hibák. These sentences illustrate how pontatlanná marks the result of a change process, often in reports or analyses.

Etymology and form: The form is built from pontatlan plus the suffix -ná, with orthographic assimilation yielding pontatlanná. The related noun is pontatlanság (inaccuracy); the verb form is pontatlanná válik (to become inaccurate).
