átalakítását

Átalakítását is a form of the noun átalakítás, which denotes the act or process of transforming, altering, or converting something from one form or function to another. The word is formed from the prefix át-, which conveys change or crossing, and alakítás, derived from alakít, to shape or form. The suffix -ás turns the verb into a noun meaning the process, and the definite object form -át/-át/átat reflects Hungarian grammar; átalakítását specifically marks the transformation as the object of a verb or clause.

Meaning and usage

Átalakítás refers to changes in form, function, structure, or content. The concept is used across many domains: in everyday language (renovation or modification), in science and engineering (geometric or functional transformations), and in business or public administration (organizational restructuring or reform). It can describe both physical changes, such as remodeling a building, and abstract changes, such as rewriting a procedure or converting data.

Domains and examples

In mathematics and information technology, átalakítás often means a transformation of data or coordinate systems, for example a coordenate-átalakítás or a function's átalakítás. In construction or urban planning, épületátalakítás or városátalakítás denotes remodeling or redevelopment. In corporate and public contexts, szervezeti átalakítás or gazdasági átalakítás refers to structural or strategic changes within an organization or economy. In legal or policy writing, the term may appear in phrases describing reforms or institutional changes.

Grammatical note

Átalakítását is the definite accusative form of the noun, used when the transformation is the direct object of a verb. Example: A vasútállomás átalakítását szeptemberben kezdték meg. The form agrees with the possessed object and the surrounding sentence structure.
