tisztaságát

Tisztaságát is the definite direct object form of the Hungarian noun tisztaság, which denotes cleanliness, purity, or neatness. It is used to refer to the cleanliness of a specific object or subject, often within a larger noun phrase such as a ház tisztaságát (the house’s cleanliness) or az autó tisztaságát (the car’s cleanliness).

Etymology and scope: tisztaság derives from the adjective tiszta, meaning clean, with the suffix -ság forming an abstract noun. The concept covers several domains: physical cleanliness and hygiene; orderliness and tidiness; and, in moral, ethical, or religious contexts, purity or ceremonial cleanliness. In everyday language, tisztaság can apply to surroundings as well as to intentions or character in a broader sense.

Usage and grammar: In Hungarian, the ending -át marks a definite direct object, which is frequently used with possessive or contextual references to indicate “its cleanliness” or “the cleanliness of X.” For example: A ház tisztaságát megőrizte means “It preserved the house’s cleanliness.” The term also appears in phrases emphasizing hygiene practices, property upkeep, or public health standards, as well as in discussions of moral or spiritual purity.

Cultural and practical significance: Cleanliness is a common value in households and institutions, linked to health, efficiency, and appearance. The word tisztaság, and its inflected form tisztaságát, thus function across everyday discourse, public policy, and literature to express both tangible and abstract notions of cleanliness and purity.
