Irányból

Irányból is a Hungarian postpositional form meaning from the direction of or from a direction. It is built from the noun irány (direction) plus the ablative suffix -ból, and it functions as a postposition that expresses origin in space or movement.

Grammatically, irányból attaches to a noun or directional expression to indicate where something comes from. It is commonly paired with cardinal directions or directional descriptors, such as észak irányból (from the north direction), kelet irányból (from the east direction), or északnyugati irányból (from the northwest direction). It can also occur in phrases describing signals, sounds, or movements that originate from a specific direction, for example A hang az észak irányból hallatszott (The sound came from the north direction).

Usage and nuance: irányból is used in descriptive, geographic, or journalistic contexts to specify spatial origin. In everyday speech, speakers may prefer more common forms such as északról or felől, depending on nuance and register. Irányból tends to appear in more formal or precise descriptions of source direction, routes, or viewpoints, where the exact origin relative to a direction needs to be indicated.
