potenciálja

Potenciálja is the possessive form of potenciál, a Hungarian noun meaning potential, capacity, or latent possibility. The word is used across a wide range of contexts to denote the possible or undeveloped abilities of a person, organization, system, or resource. In physics and related sciences, potenciál can also refer to a field potential (for example electric or gravitational potential); in such contexts the possessive form potenciálja is used to indicate the potential of a specific object or region.

In grammar, potenciálja is formed by adding the third-person singular possessive suffix -ja to potenciál. Examples: “Ennek a városnak a potenciálja” (the potential of this city); “A vállalat potenciálja a humán erőforrásokban rejlik.” The form contrasts with other possessives such as potenciálom (my potential) or potenciálod (your potential) and with the plural potenciálok (potentials).

The term is common in formal writing—economic analyses, planning documents, scientific reports—and is also found in everyday language when discussing future prospects, capabilities, or growth potential. Etymologically, potenciál derives from Latin potentia, with typical Hungarian phonological adaptation and affixation patterns common to modern scientific vocabulary.
