átalakuló

Átalakuló is a Hungarian adjective and present participle derived from the verb átalakul, meaning to undergo transformation or to take shape through change. The prefix át- signals crossing or conversion, and alakul means to form or develop; together they form the participial adjective átalakuló, describing something that is in the process of changing state rather than finished.

Grammatical usage: Átalakuló is used attributively before nouns (for example, átalakuló folyamat, átalakuló rendszer, átalakuló állapot) or predicatively in constructions such as "a rendszer átalakulóban van" meaning "the system is in the process of transforming." The noun átalakulás denotes the act or result of transformation; related nouns are used for metamorphosis or transformation more generally.

Contexts and nuance: The term is common in technical, scientific, and analytical prose to characterize transitional phases, dynamic changes, or evolving structures. It often emphasizes incompleteness or ongoing development, in contrast to terms like megváltozott or átalakított that imply a completed change. The exact meaning depends on the domain, and it may describe physical, biological, organizational, or conceptual changes.
