státuszba

Státuszba is the illative form of the Hungarian noun státusz, meaning “status.” In Hungarian grammar, the illative case marks movement into a state or condition, so státuszba literally means “into the status.” The term often appears in formal or legal language to describe the moment of transition into a particular legal or administrative status.

Etymology and usage context: státusz is a loanword from Latin status, with the modern Hungarian form entering through language contact with German or English influence. The illative form státuszba is used in contexts that emphasize entering or attaining a specific status, especially in bureaucratic or descriptive statements. In everyday speech, Hungarians more commonly express changes of status using forms in the accusative (for example, hitting a state by using a verb like kap, nyer, or szerez, with status in the accusative), rather than the illative státuszba. Thus, státuszba tends to occur in official documents, legal discussions, or analyses of processes that involve entering a particular status.

Notes on usage: Because the illative conveys movement into a state, státuszba is most natural in sentences that foreground the transition itself or the existence of a status as a state to be entered. It is less frequent in casual conversation but remains correct in formal writing when the emphasis is on the act of entering a defined status, such as immigration, residency, or other legal classifications.
