Tejból

Tejból is a Hungarian grammatical form meaning “from milk” or “made from milk.” It is created by taking the noun tej (milk) and adding the suffix -ből, which marks origin or source. Tejból is not a standalone noun; it functions as an adverbial phrase that describes the material or ingredient used to produce something.

In use, tejből typically modifies a verb or a noun phrase referring to a product or ingredient. For example, tejből készült joghurt means “yogurt made from milk,” and tejből készült túró means “cottage cheese made from milk.” The phrase is common in cooking contexts, recipes, and product labeling to indicate the base material or source of a dairy product.

In grammar, tejból is part of a broader set of Hungarian material-origin expressions formed with suffixes like -ból/-bő, which attach to the noun to indicate origin. The form remains consistent as a single unit in a sentence and does not undergo additional inflection beyond the surrounding grammatical structure.
