Populációból

Populációból is a Hungarian ablative form of the noun populáció, meaning “from the population.” It denotes origin or source and is used to indicate that something is drawn from or originates in a population. The base noun populáció is a loanword, stemming from Latin populatio, and in Hungarian it functions as a regular noun meaning “a population” or “the population.”

In usage, populációból appears in contexts such as statistics, epidemiology, and demography. It commonly follows verbs and phrases that express sourcing or origin, for example: “A mintát a populációból vettük” (We took the sample from the population) and “Az adatok a populációból származnak” (The data originate from the population). The construction is compatible with verbs like venni (to take), származni (to originate), or kinyerni (to extract), when the source is specified as a population.

Morphologically, populációból is formed by the noun populáció plus the ablative suffix -ból, which in Hungarian indicates origin “from.” The choice of -ból rather than -ból/ -ból follows vowel harmony rules, as populáció ends with a back vowel, yielding -ból. This word illustrates how Hungarian marks source or origin at the noun level rather than as a separate preposition.
