Áttolása

Áttolása is a Hungarian noun formed from the verb áttolni, meaning to push something so that it crosses or passes across another object, boundary, or line. The prefix át- signals crossing or moving through, while tolni means to push. The word thus denotes the act or result of such pushing.

In ordinary language, áttolása refers to physically moving an object by pushing it so that it goes across a surface or past an obstacle, for example pushing a chair toward a doorway or sliding a component past a barrier. In technical or mechanical contexts, the term can describe a controlled movement of parts, pieces on a conveyor, or a shift of items along a track or conduit, where the emphasis is on crossing from one position to another.

Áttolása is related to, but distinct from, other related terms. Tolás is the general act of pushing. Eltolás more commonly denotes displacement, offset, or translation, and in geometry or engineering contexts may refer to shifting an object without crossing a boundary in a specified direction. In some fields, áttolása may be used to emphasize the crossing of a boundary or boundary-like interface as part of a process.

Etymology and usage notes: the word combines át- with tolás and behaves like a standard Hungarian noun in inflection. It appears in both everyday speech and specialized texts, though it is less common than tolás or eltolás. See also tolás, eltolás, transzláció.
