Lámpánál

lámpánál is a Hungarian locative form of the noun lámpa (lamp) that means “at the lamp” or “by the lamp.” It is formed by attaching the locative suffix -nál to the stem, here resulting in lámpánál. The plural form is lámpáknál, used to indicate “at the lamps” or “by the lamps.” The word is used to describe location in relation to a lamp and is common in descriptive or narrative prose.

In use, lámpánál serves to specify where an action takes place or where something is located. It is typically employed with verbs of position or action and with other elements that describe spatial relationships. For example:

- Este a lámpánál ültem és olvastam. (In the evening I sat by the lamp and read.)

- A gyerek a lámpánál ült, és mesét hallgatott. (The child sat by the lamp and listened to a story.)

- A beszélgetés a lámpánál folytatódott. (The conversation continued by the lamp.)

Lámpánál thus functions as a straightforward locative indicator in Hungarian, providing a precise point of reference in space.
