Hátrébb

Hátrébb is a Hungarian adverb. It translates to "further back," "behind," or "backwards" in English. It can be used to indicate a physical position that is located to the rear of something or someone, or to describe movement in a backward direction. For example, "Menj hátrébb egy kicsit" means "Move back a little." The word can also imply a regression or a setback in a more abstract sense, though its primary use is literal. It is derived from the word "hát" which means "back" or "behind." The suffix "-rébb" is a comparative suffix, suggesting a position that is more to the back than a reference point. Its opposite is often "előrébb," meaning "further forward" or "ahead." The usage of hátrébb is common in everyday Hungarian conversation and writing, employed in various contexts from simple directions to more nuanced descriptions of relative positioning.
