GBtól

GBtól is a Hungarian locative expression used to indicate origin from Great Britain. It combines the abbreviation GB with the suffix -tól, which means from. In standard orthography the abbreviation is written with a hyphen as GB-tól, but the form GBtól without a hyphen is common in informal writing or space-constrained contexts.

Usage and meaning: GBtól serves as a postnominal marker of origin, applied to nouns to specify that something comes from Great Britain. It can describe products, goods, people, ideas, or information. Examples include: "A termék GB-tól származik" (The product originates from GB) and "A szállítmány GB-tól érkezett" (The shipment arrived from GB). The phrase does not change for number or person; it functions as a stable origin marker in sentences.

Orthography and variants: The preferred formal form is GB-tól, with a hyphen after the abbreviation to maintain clarity. In contexts with strict character limits or informal style, GBtól may appear without the hyphen. Both forms convey the same meaning, though hyphenation is recommended in official or public-facing text.

Relation to other forms: Similar constructions exist for other origin indicators, such as EU-tól or US-tól, using the same grammatical pattern to express origin from a country, region, or organization. The suffix -tól is a standard Hungarian postposition indicating source or origin.
