Nepálra

Nepálra is a Hungarian directional form derived from the country name Nepál (Nepál). It is created by attaching the postpositional suffix -ra to Nepál and is used to indicate movement toward Nepal. Like other Hungarian destination forms, Nepálra is used with verbs of motion to specify where someone or something is headed.

Usage and examples help illustrate its function. For example, Nepálra utazik means “he travels to Nepal,” and Nepálra megy can be rendered as “he goes to Nepal.” In a plural subject, Nepálra utazunk conveys “we travel to Nepal.” The form preserves the capitalized proper noun Nepál, and Nepálra signals the destination rather than the location inside Nepal.

Linguistic notes and related forms provide additional context. Nepálra is one of several directional suffixes in Hungarian that express destination; other forms express different relations with Nepal, such as Nepálban for “in Nepal” or Nepálból for “from Nepal,” depending on the verb and context. The choice of suffix affects the implied spatial relation as well as the construction of the sentence. In English translations, Nepálra consistently corresponds to “to Nepal” or “toward Nepal,” reflecting movement toward the country.
