Délutánra

Délutánra is a Hungarian word that translates to "for the afternoon" or "by afternoon" in English. It is commonly used to indicate a time frame within the latter part of the day, typically after midday and before evening. The word is formed by combining "délután" (afternoon) with the suffix "-ra," which denotes direction or a time by which something is expected to happen.

The usage of délutánra can be seen in various contexts. For instance, someone might say "A levél délutánra érkezik" which means "The letter will arrive by afternoon." It can also be used to express a plan or intention, such as "Délutánra rendbe hozom a kertet" translating to "I will tidy up the garden by afternoon." This indicates that the task is intended to be completed within the afternoon hours.

The term is a straightforward and practical part of everyday Hungarian conversation, clearly defining a temporal boundary within the day. Its grammatical construction is typical for indicating a deadline or a timeframe for an action to occur in the afternoon.
