átfordulását

Átfordulását is a grammatical form of the Hungarian noun átfordulás, meaning the act of turning over, overturning, or reversing. The base noun átfordulás comes from the prefix át- (across, over) combined with fordul (to turn) and the nominal suffix -ás, which marks a process or action. The form átfordulását is the accusative singular, used to denote the direct object of a verb or to describe a specific instance of the act.

In general use, átfordulás can refer to several kinds of turning or changing orientation. It can describe a physical overturning or flipping of an object, such as a vehicle or other item turning onto its side. It can also denote a figurative reversal, such as a change in stance, opinion, or policy, or a broader shift in a situation. In technical or scientific contexts, the term may appear in discussions of mechanisms that cause overturning or reversal within systems, processes, or experiments.

The word is common in Hungarian writing and speech and is often contrasted with related terms such as megfordulás (a turnaround) or fordulás (a general turning). Adjectival forms include átforduló (overturning, turning over) and related nouns such as átfordulásos contexts. As a flexible noun, átfordulását can function as part of a larger clause describing a specific instance or effect of turning over.
