Alatt

Alatt is a Hungarian locative postposition meaning under or beneath. It follows the noun it modifies to indicate a position below or lower than the referenced object. The word is used in both spatial and temporal expressions, and occurs in common phrases such as az asztal alatt (under the table) or föld alatt (underground).

Spatial usage examples include: az asztal alatt van (the book is under the table) and a kanapé alatt rejtőzik a doboz (the box is hidden under the sofa). Temporal usage is common as well, for example tíz perc alatt (within ten minutes) or az esemény tíz perc alatt lezárult (the event was concluded within ten minutes). Alatt can appear in various fixed phrases describing location, such as ház alatt (under the house) or híd alatt (under the bridge).

In Hungarian grammar, alatt is one of several postpositions that express spatial or temporal relations after the noun; it does not itself take separate inflection. The construction typically uses the noun in its ordinary form, followed by alatt to specify the relation.

Beyond Hungarian usage, আলাত is not widely recognized as a separate term in English-language sources, and there are no standard references to a distinct organization, place name, or concept solely named “alatt.” The primary and most widely attested meaning of alatt remains its function as a locative postposition in Hungarian.
