változatára

változatára is a Hungarian inflected form of the noun változat, meaning variant or version. It is the allative form, created by attaching the suffix -ára to the stem változat, and it translates roughly as “to its variant” or “onto its variant” in English. The allative suffix in Hungarian denotes direction or reference toward a target, edition, or variant rather than a grammatical dative.

Usage and meaning

The form is used when a sentence concerns a particular version or variant of something and whether attention or action is directed toward that variant. In practice, változatára often appears in contexts such as textual criticism, software or document localization, and linguistic discussions, where distinctions between different versions or editions must be specified. The exact sense depends on context and can range from directing a note, reference, or comparison to indicating a move toward a specific variant.

Etymology and form

Derived from változat plus the allative suffix -ára, a form is one of several directional cases in Hungarian that attach to a noun to express “toward” or “toward the target.” The usage is primarily formal or technical, and appears alongside other variant- or edition-related terminology.
