változástól

Változástól is a form of the Hungarian noun változás (change) in the ablative case, used to express origin, source, or separation. The construction marks that something comes from or is affected by a change, rather than being within it. It is most common in formal or literary Hungarian and appears in contexts that discuss causes, origins, or distinctions relative to change.

Etymology and form: The word is formed from the base noun változás with the ablative suffix -tól, yielding változástól. The form signals “from a change” or “away from the change” and can be combined with adjectives or nouns to describe the relationship to change, such as fear, uncertainty, or consequences stemming from change. The singular form is used in reference to a specific change or a generic change as a state.

Meaning and usage: In practice, változástól conveys origin or separation in relation to change. Common patterns include a változástól való félelem (fear of change) and a változástól eredő bizonytalanság (uncertainty arising from change). It can also appear in more abstract statements about how processes respond to or are independent of change, though more frequent Hungarian collocations often use the plural változásoktól or alternative phrasing like a változástól függetlenül.

Examples:

- A változástól való félelem sok embert visszatart a döntésektől.

- A folyamat célja, hogy minimalizálja a változástól eredő bizonytalanságot.

Notes: Although grammatically correct, the ablative forms with -tól are most frequently found in written or formal Hungarian; in everyday speech, speakers may prefer simpler constructions to express the same ideas.
