átformálja

Átformálja is a Hungarian verb form, specifically the third person singular present indicative of the infinitive átformálni. It means to transform or reshape something into a different form, typically through deliberate action. The sense can range from minor modification to a substantial change of structure or appearance.

Etymology and nuance: the word is formed from the prefix át-, indicating change across or beyond, combined with formál, meaning to shape or form. Átformálja emphasizes an active, intentional process aimed at creating a new form or arrangement. The form is transitive, requiring a direct object that is being transformed (for example, a plan, data, or material).

Usage: the verb is common in technical, artistic, and everyday contexts where a transformation of form is involved. It is often contrasted with related terms such as átalakítja (to rearrange or convert, sometimes with a broader sense) or formál (to shape in a more general sense). Átformálja typically conveys a thorough or purposeful change rather than a mere modification.

Examples:

- A mérnök átformálja a tervet úgy, hogy megfeleljen a specifikációnak.

- A szoftver átformálja az adatokat a kimeneti formátumba.

- A művész átformálja a vászon felületét, hogy új textúrát érjen el.

Related forms include átformálás (transformation), átformálható (transformable), and the infinitive átformálni. The term remains widely used across disciplines to describe intentional, form-changing processes.
