Példájára

Példájára is a Hungarian grammatical particle, often translated as "for example," "as an example," or "like." It is a postposition, meaning it follows the noun or pronoun it modifies. The particle is formed from the possessive suffix '-j' attached to "példa" (example) and the dative case suffix '-ra' (to, for). This literal construction of "to its example" conveys the sense of presenting something as an illustration.

It is commonly used in sentences to introduce an instance that clarifies or supports a preceding statement. For instance, if one were discussing types of fruit, one might say "Sokféle gyümölcs van, például az alma." (There are many kinds of fruit, for example, the apple.) Here, "példájára" serves to introduce "az alma" as a specific instance of a fruit. The particle emphasizes that what follows is not exhaustive but rather a representative case. Its usage is widespread in both spoken and written Hungarian.
