állapotaira

állapotaira is a Hungarian grammatical form built from the noun állapot (state, condition) plus the postpositional suffix -ára. It yields a plural-oriented dative-like construction meaning roughly “to its states” or “for its states,” and it is mainly encountered in phrases that refer to multiple states or conditions of a subject. In standard usage, állapotaira itself does not represent a separate lexical entry; rather, it is part of a larger noun phrase that marks indirect reference to the subject’s states.

Morphology and usage

The base word állapot provides the semantic core (state or condition). The suffix -ára is a directional/indirect reference ending that attaches in contexts where the noun phrase is linked to another element through a verb or a preposition. In practice, állapotaira appears most often in compound phrases such as állapotaira vonatkozó adatok (data relating to its states) or állapotaira vonatkozó megfigyelések (observations concerning its states). The construction is typical of Hungarian where affixes convey case, direction, and reference within a single word form.

Context and relevance

This form is primarily of interest in linguistic discussions of Hungarian morphology and in technical or legal-scholarly writing where precise reference to multiple states or conditions is needed. It is less common in everyday speech, where simpler constructions or alternative cases (e.g., állapotairól, about its states) might be used depending on the intended relationship.
