Tengerpartokig

Tengerpartokig is a Hungarian word that translates to "to the seaside" or "to the coast" in English. It is a compound word formed by combining "tengerpart" (seashore/coast) and the suffix "-ig" (to/until). This suffix indicates direction or a limit reached.

The word is commonly used in everyday conversation to describe a journey or a desire to travel to a coastal area. For instance, someone might say "Megyünk tengerpartokig nyaralni" which means "We are going to the seaside to vacation." It can also be used metaphorically to express a goal or aspiration, though its literal meaning is far more frequent.

Hungarian, an agglutinative language, frequently uses suffixes to modify the meaning of root words, and "-ig" is a prime example of this grammatical feature. "Tengerpartokig" therefore encapsulates the concept of movement and destination specifically related to the sea. While Hungary is a landlocked country, the concept of the seaside holds a particular allure, and this word reflects that sentiment.
