Hivatalnál

hivatalnál is a Hungarian prepositional phrase that translates to "at the office" or "in the office" in English. It is formed from the noun "hivatal," meaning office or official position, combined with the postposition "nál," which indicates location or proximity. This phrase is commonly used in everyday Hungarian language to denote physical presence at a workplace or administrative building.

Grammatically, "hivatalnál" follows the Hungarian case system where postpositions are used instead of prepositions. It typically follows the noun it modifies and requires the appropriate case marking on the noun. In this case, the noun "hivatal" is in the inessive case, indicated by the "-nál" suffix.

The phrase is frequently used in various contexts such as scheduling appointments, indicating location, or describing activities related to work. For example, one might say "ma hivatalnál vagyok," meaning "I am at the office today." It reflects the importance of administrative offices in Hungarian culture for handling official matters, paperwork, and professional interactions. The phrase is versatile and can refer to both private offices and public government buildings depending on the context.
