állítmányból

Állítmányból is a Hungarian grammatical term referring to a specific type of predicate formation. It arises when a word or phrase that functions as the subject of a sentence is nominalized or substantivized and then takes on the role of the predicate. This typically involves a verb or adjective being transformed into a noun form, often through a suffix, and then serving as the main predicative element of the sentence.

For instance, if a sentence is "Ő orvos" (He is a doctor), where "orvos" is the predicate, an "állítmányból" construction might involve something like "Az, hogy orvos, az az ő hivatása" (That he is a doctor, that is his profession). Here, the concept of "being a doctor" has been nominalized and acts as the subject of the main clause, but the core idea originates from a predicative function. Another example could be transforming an adjective: "A ház szép" (The house is beautiful) might lead to a structure like "A szépség, ami a házban van, az megkapó" (The beauty that is in the house is captivating).

This grammatical phenomenon highlights the flexibility of Hungarian word formation and sentence structure, allowing for abstract concepts derived from predicative relationships to be treated as entities within a sentence. It is a feature that contributes to the richness and complexity of the language, enabling nuanced expression of ideas. The exact formation and usage can vary, but the core principle involves the re-purposing of predicative content into a nominal form that functions as a predicate or a subject derived from a predicative idea.
