Hasonlóitól

Hasonlóitól is a Hungarian word that translates to "from its similarities" or "from those similar to it" in English. It is a possessive form of the word "hasonló," which means similar. The suffix "-tól/-től" indicates origin or separation, similar to the English prepositions "from." Therefore, "hasonlóitól" specifically refers to something being distanced from or derived from things that share common characteristics.

This grammatical construction is often used in contexts where a comparison is being made, or when a distinction is being drawn between one thing and others that resemble it. For example, one might say that a new artistic style is distinct from its predecessors, using "hasonlóitól" to denote that separation from similar earlier works. The specific form of the suffix, "-tól" or "-től," depends on vowel harmony rules in Hungarian, with "-től" being used after front vowels and "-tól" after back vowels.

Understanding "hasonlóitól" requires an awareness of Hungarian grammar, particularly its case system and vowel harmony. It highlights the nuanced ways in which relationships of similarity and difference can be expressed linguistically. The word itself encapsulates the idea of moving away from, or being distinct because of, a shared set of attributes.
