átállást

Átállást is a Hungarian noun that denotes the process of changing from one state, system, or mode to another. The word is used broadly to refer to transitions, switchovers, or reconfigurations, and the accusative form átállást is used when the transition is the object of a verb, for example in reports or policy texts describing how a change is carried out or planned.

Etymology and sense. The term is built from the prefix át-, meaning across or over, combined with állás, which can mean state, position, or standing. Together, átállás conveys a change of state or a switch from one condition to another. The expression is common in formal and technical language, and it appears in compound terms that name specific kinds of change.

Contexts and usage. Átállást is used in many fields to describe deliberate reforms or shifts. In energy policy, energiaátállás refers to the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. In the economy, gazdasági átállás denotes structural change, such as a shift toward market-oriented or diversified activities. In technology and administration, technológiai vagy szervezeti átállás describes digitalization, modernization, or reorganizations. The term can describe planned processes as well as ongoing or required changes, and it is often contrasted with terms like átalakítás or reform in related discourse.

Related concepts. While átállás covers broad change, similar terms exist for specific aspects of transformation, such as energiaátállás, gazdasági átállás, vagy technológiai átállás. Distinctions are sometimes drawn between a gradual, staged átállás and a sudden or abrupt shift, depending on context and pace.
