A támogatás folyamatos.

In Hungarian, the verb van (to be) is usually left out in the present tense, third person singular/plural when one thing is being identified or described.

So:

A támogatás folyamatos.
literally looks like The support continuous,
but it means The support is continuous / ongoing.

This is completely normal Hungarian.

Compare:

• A támogatás folyamatos volt. = The support was continuous.
• A támogatás folyamatos lesz. = The support will be continuous.

In those tenses, the verb does appear.

A is the definite article, meaning the.

So a támogatás = the support.

Hungarian has two singular definite articles:

• a
• az

Which one is used depends on the following sound:

• a támogatás because támogatás starts with a consonant
• az iskola because iskola starts with a vowel

Támogatás is a noun meaning support, assistance, or sometimes funding/subsidy, depending on context.

It comes from the verb támogat = to support.

The ending -ás / -és is a very common way to make nouns from verbs in Hungarian, similar to English forms like supporting or support as an action/result.

So:

• támogat = to support
• támogatás = support, supporting, assistance

Because you said the meaning is already known to the learner, the main thing to remember is that this is a noun, not a verb.

Folyamatos usually means:

• continuous
• ongoing
• constant
• uninterrupted

Which English word sounds best depends on context.

So A támogatás folyamatos. could also be understood as:

• The support is ongoing.
• The support is continuous.
• Support is being provided continuously.
  (depending on the situation)

A useful nuance: folyamatos often suggests something that keeps going without stopping, or happens steadily over time.

Hungarian adjectives usually go before the noun when they directly modify it inside a noun phrase:

• a folyamatos támogatás = the continuous support

But in your sentence, folyamatos is not just modifying the noun inside a phrase. It is the predicate of the sentence:

• A támogatás folyamatos. = The support is continuous.

So the structure is:

subject + predicate adjective

This is why the adjective comes after the noun here.

Compare:

• a folyamatos támogatás = the continuous support
• A támogatás folyamatos. = The support is continuous.

Yes. Folyamatos a támogatás is also correct.

Both mean essentially the same thing:

• A támogatás folyamatos.
• Folyamatos a támogatás.

The difference is mostly emphasis.

• A támogatás folyamatos. is a neutral statement: The support is continuous.
• Folyamatos a támogatás. puts more focus on folyamatos: The support is continuous / It is continuous, the support.

Hungarian word order is flexible, and moving an element earlier often highlights it.

A simple pronunciation guide:

• A ≈ aw
• támogatás ≈ TAA-mo-gaw-taash
• folyamatos ≈ FO-yaw-ma-tosh

A few useful points:

• Stress in Hungarian is always on the first syllable of the word.
  • TÁmogatás
  • FOlyamatos
• á is a long vowel, roughly like a in father, but longer.
• s is pronounced like English sh.
  • So folyamatos ends with -tosh, not -tos.

You simply add nem before the predicate:

A támogatás nem folyamatos.
= The support is not continuous.

Notice that there is still no present-tense van here. That same rule still applies.

By itself, támogatás is broad and can refer to different kinds of support, such as:

• emotional support
• practical assistance
• political support
• financial support / funding

So A támogatás folyamatos. does not tell you the exact type on its own. The context decides that.

For example:

• in an official or administrative context, it could mean funding is ongoing
• in a general human context, it could mean support continues
• in customer service or technical help, it could mean assistance is continuous / available continuously

Not exactly.

• a folyamatos támogatás = the continuous support
  This is just a noun phrase, not a complete sentence.

• A támogatás folyamatos. = The support is continuous.
  This is a full sentence.

So the difference is:

• a folyamatos támogatás names something
• A támogatás folyamatos. says something about it
