Hálából

Hálából is a Hungarian word that translates to "out of gratitude" or "as a thank you" in English. It is used to express the reason behind an action, where the motivation stems from a feeling of thankfulness. For example, one might offer a gift or perform a service hálából for something they have received or experienced.

The word is formed by combining "hála," meaning "gratitude" or "thanks," with the suffix "-ból," which indicates origin or source. Therefore, literally, it means "from gratitude." This grammatical structure highlights that the action originates from a place of thankfulness.

In everyday Hungarian conversation, hálából is used to explain why a person is doing something nice or generous for another. It signifies that the act is not out of obligation or for personal gain, but rather as a direct response to a perceived kindness or benefit received. This can range from returning a favor to expressing appreciation for a thoughtful gesture. The use of hálából emphasizes the positive and reciprocal nature of social interactions.
