átalakítva

Átalakítva is a form of the Hungarian verb átalakítani and is used as the adverbial or participial form meaning “having been transformed” or “after transformation.” It refers to the result of an alteration rather than to the agent performing it. In formal, technical, or bureaucratic language, the expression highlights the state of a thing after a transformation has taken place.

Morphology and usage notes: Átalakítva is formed by the verb stem átalakít- plus the suffix -va (or -ve after a vowel). It is a non-finite participial form that can function as a clause-like modifier or as a predicate in a sentence, typically describing the condition of a subject following a change. It is common in contexts such as architecture, software, data processing, and project planning, where the emphasis is on the completed transformation rather than on who performed it. For example, a sentence might state that “A tervet átalakítva került jóváhagyásra,” meaning that the plan was approved after being transformed.

Relation to other forms: The past participle átalakított is the more common attributive form meaning “transformed” when describing a noun (for example, átalakított épület, transformed building). Átalakítva, by contrast, tends to set up a circumstance or state of the action’s result, often in a non-finite, clause-like function.

Etymology and scope: The word combines prefix jára“át-” indicating change and “alakítani” to shape or form, with the gerundial suffix -va/-ve. It appears predominantly in written, technical, or formal Hungarian rather than in everyday speech.
