Korból

Korból is a form in Hungarian grammar formed by the noun kor (time, era) plus the ablative suffix -ból. It means “from the era” or “from the age” and is used to indicate origin in time. The construction is common in phrases that describe objects, works, or information originating in a specific period.

In use, korból appears in noun phrases such as római korból származó tárgy, meaning “an object from the Roman era.” The base noun can be modified by adjectives or other determiners, with the suffix attaching to the noun to mark its temporal origin. The plural form is korokból, as in korokból származó történetek, “stories from various eras.”

Etymology and classification: kor means time or era, and -ból is the Hungarian ablative suffix indicating origin or source. The combination forms a standard ablative phrase that answers questions like “from which time/era?” It is part of the broader system of time-related expressions in Hungarian, which frequently use a noun in its ablative form to denote source.

Notes: korból can be used with a variety of time-related nouns (kor, időszak, korszak) to convey origins in history, culture, or chronology. It is distinct from other directional or instrumental formations in Hungarian, focusing specifically on temporal origin rather than location or instrument.
