Célhelyre

Célhelyre is a Hungarian directional postpositional phrase meaning “to the destination” or “to the target place.” It is used to indicate the endpoint of movement or delivery, especially in contexts such as logistics, navigation, and instructional language. The phrase combines the noun cél (goal, target) with hely (place) and the directional suffix -re, which marks motion toward a location.

Etymology and grammar: The word is built from cél + hely with the suffix -re, a common Hungarian mechanism for expressing direction toward a place. In use, célhelyre functions as a locational element within a sentence, often appearing with verbs of sending, moving, or directing, for example in phrases like “a csomagot célhelyre szállították” (the package was transported to the destination) or “útba állították a célhelyre” (they directed it toward the destination).

Usage: Célhelyre appears in formal and technical prose, including logistics documents, navigation guidelines, and procedural texts. It emphasizes the endpoint rather than the path taken. It can be contrasted with related expressions such as ide (here/this way) or oda (there/over there), which indicate different directions in Hungarian.

Notes: While widely understood in Hungarian, célhelyre is most common in written and technical contexts. In everyday speech, speakers may use synonyms or more general terms such as a célpont vagy a megadott hely, depending on clarity and formality.
