Károkból

Károkból is a Hungarian ablative plural form of the noun kár, meaning damage or loss. The suffix -ból marks origin, so károkból literally means “from damages” or “out of losses.” It is used to indicate the source of something, such as funds, costs, or liabilities, in sentences where damages are the basis of an amount or obligation.

Morphology and usage: károk is the plural of kár, and -ból is the ablative suffix used with plural forms. As a postpositional phrase, károkból typically accompanies a noun it modifies or a clause that describes the source of resources or responsibility. It is common in legal, insurance, and accounting language.

Contexts and phrases: The expression appears in phrases like “a károkból eredő költségek” (costs arising from damages) or “a károkból finanszírozott helyreállítás” (restoration financed from damages). It is not a standalone concept; rather, it functions as a grammatical tool to point to damages as the origin of something being discussed.

Example sentences:

- A károkból fedezendő összeget a biztosító állapítja meg. (The amount to be covered from damages is determined by the insurer.)

- A vállalat a károkból eredő költségeket elszámolja. (The company accounts for costs arising from damages.)

Etymology: From kár meaning damage or loss, with the plural -ok and the ablative suffix -ból.
