Gombáknál

Gombáknál is a Hungarian locative form meaning at the mushrooms or by the mushrooms. It is formed from the noun gomba (mushroom) in its plural gombák, with the locative suffix -nál, producing gombáknál. The phrase is used to indicate a location in or near a group of mushrooms, typically in forests or grassy areas where foraging or mushroom picking takes place. It is not an official geographic name in standard references, but it can appear as a descriptive location in speech or writing and, in literature or folklore, may function as a toponym-like label.

Linguistic notes and usage examples help clarify its role. In everyday Hungarian you would use gombáknál to denote a spot near multiple mushrooms: for example, "Az erdő mélyén megálltunk a gombáknál, és leszakítottuk a friss példányokat," meaning we stopped at the mushrooms and picked fresh specimens. Another example: "Gombáknál találkoztunk a barátunkkal," indicating we met a friend near the mushroom area. The form highlights location based on a natural feature, rather than a fixed built environment.

In cultural and literary contexts, gombáknál can evoke a forest setting or foraging scene, contributing to atmosphere or realism. It is primarily a descriptive or narrative device rather than a standard place name, though authors may use it as a stylistic label for a scene towards a woods-edge or mushroom-rich clearing.
