Párizsba

Párizsba is the illative form of the Hungarian place name Párizs, meaning “to Paris” or “into Paris.” In Hungarian, the illative case marks movement toward a destination and is typically formed with the suffix -ba or -be, chosen according to vowel harmony. The form Párizsba is used when referring to going toward Paris.

In ordinary sentences, Párizsba appears with verbs of motion or travel. Examples include: Megyek Párizsba. (I am going to Paris.) Szeretnék Párizsba utazni a nyáron. (I would like to travel to Paris this summer.) The corresponding locative form Párizsban means “in Paris,” as in Párizsban élek. Other related forms express additional relations, such as Párizsből (“from Paris”) or Párizsba vezető út (“the road to Paris”).

Etymology and usage notes: Párizs is the Hungarian name for the city of Paris, borrowed from the French name Paris, itself derived from historical and linguistic roots tied to the city’s name.
