Mutatóra

Mutatóra is a word form in the Hungarian language. It represents the allative case form of mutató, a noun with meanings including the index finger or a general pointer/indicator. The allative suffix -ra/-re marks direction toward a destination or onto a surface, so mutatóra literally means “to the index finger” or “onto the index finger.”

Mutató itself has several related senses. In everyday language it can denote the index finger, the finger used for pointing, or a general pointer in charts, diagrams, or user interfaces. In linguistic descriptions, mutató is also encountered as an example noun for illustrating morphology and case forms in Hungarian.

Etymology and form: mutató is derived from mutatni, meaning “to point.” The suffix -ó turns the verb into a noun meaning “pointer” or “indicator,” and the allative suffix -ra attaches to yield mutatóra. The spelling preserves the accent in mutató and the final -ra ending.

Usage: Mutatóra is primarily of interest in linguistic and grammatical contexts as an illustration of allative formation from a concrete noun. It is not a common word in everyday prose outside such discussions, and its practical usage is typically confined to explanations of Hungarian morphology rather than to ordinary narration.
