Szalmából

Szalmából is a Hungarian word form that serves as the ablative of szalma, meaning straw. It denotes origin or material and is used to express that something comes from straw or is made from straw. The construction combines the stem szalma with the suffix -ból, which follows vowel harmony rules (szalmából, since szalma ends with a back vowel). This form is common in both everyday language and descriptive writing when material or source needs to be specified.

In usage, szalmából is typically part of phrases describing objects or substances made of straw or derived from straw. For example, a basket can be described as szalmából készült kosár (a basket made from straw). Similarly, a decorative item or craft might be labeled szalmából készült vagy szalmából készült dísz. The form can also indicate that something is sourced from straw, not just made of it.

Szalmából contrasts with szalmával, which uses the instrumental suffix -val/-vel and expresses means or accompaniment (with straw). Thus szalmából answers “from straw / out of straw,” while szalmával answers “with straw.” In agricultural and craft contexts, szalmából appears in discussions of straw-based products, crafts, packaging, or building materials such as straw-reed products and decorative items.
