Csomagolástól

Csomagolástól is the ablative form of the Hungarian noun csomagolás, meaning packaging. It is created by adding the ablative suffix -tól to the stem csomagolás, yielding csomagolástól. The form marks origin, starting point, or separation, and functions as an adverbial noun phrase in sentences. In everyday Hungarian, its exact meaning depends on context, but it always relates to something being considered, located, or measured from packaging.

Grammatically, csomagolástól is used to indicate source or distance and can modify verbs or entire clauses. It often appears in technical, logistical, or environmental language, especially when discussing packaging materials, packaging waste, or processes that begin at the level of packaging. Common constructions include measurements or timings starting from packaging, as in csomagolástól számított idő, meaning “time counted from packaging.” It also forms phrases describing origin of materials or waste, such as a csomagolástól származó hulladék, “packaging-derived waste.”

Examples of use are typically straightforward: A mérés a csomagolástól számított öt perccel később történt. This illustrates how the ablative form functions as a temporal or spatial reference point. While csomagolástól is primarily a grammatical form, it frequently appears in contexts related to packaging and sustainability, where the relationship between products, packaging, and consequences is analyzed.
