Let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space $mathscr{H}$. We say that $T$ has the hyponormal property if there exists a function $f$, continuous on an appropriate set so that $f(|T|)geq f(|T^ast|)$. We investigate the properties of such operators considering certain classes of functions on which our definition is constructed. For such a function $f$ we introduce the $f$-Aluthge transform, $tilde{T}_{f}$. Given two continuous functions $f$ and $g$ with the property  $f(t)g(t)=t$, we also introduce the $(f,g)$-Aluthge transform, $tilde{T}_{(f,g)}$. The features of these transforms are discussed as well.
