Mexikóból

Mexikóból is a Hungarian grammatical form meaning “from Mexico.” It is the elative case form of the proper noun Mexikó (Mexico) and is created by adding the suffix -ból to the stem, producing Mexikóból. The elative suffix marks origin or starting point and is used to indicate where someone or something comes from.

In usage, Mexikóból answers questions such as Honnan? (From where?), often in sentences describing origin, departure, or source. It is commonly found with verbs of movement or origin, as in example sentences: “Mexikóból érkeztek” (They arrived from Mexico) and “A termék Mexikóból származik” (The product originates from Mexico). The form is dependent on Hungarian vowel harmony and the phonological flow of the stem, but Mexikóból is the standard and widely accepted form.

The word may appear in travel writing, news reporting, and everyday speech to specify geographic origin. As a proper noun plus suffix, it retains the capitalized root Mexikó, while the suffix -ból/-ből remains a fixed grammatical marker indicating origin.
