Síktól

Síktól is a Hungarian grammatical form meaning “from the plane” or “from the flat surface.” It is formed by the noun sík (plane, flat surface) plus the suffix -tól, which marks origin or starting point. The expression is used to indicate the reference point from which measurement, location, or comparison is made. While it occurs in everyday language, it is especially common in technical or descriptive texts where a plane serves as a reference.

In mathematical or physical contexts, síktól appears in phrases such as a síktól mért távolság (the distance measured from the plane) or a síktól vett magasság (the height measured from the plane). Grammatically, síktól functions as a postpositional phrase that conveys origin and is part of Hungarian’s broader system of suffix-based expressions of origin.

Síktól is one instance of the general pattern of -tól used to express “from” with various nominatives, such as hegytől (from the mountain) or égtől (from the sky). This illustrates how Hungarian forms an array of origin expressions by combining a noun with the -tól suffix.

In summary, síktól is a niche but standard Hungarian construction for specifying “from the plane,” typically encountered in technical language and contexts requiring reference to a flat surface as a starting point.
