Távlatoknál

Távlatoknál is a Hungarian locative phrase that translates roughly to “at the horizons” or “by the horizons.” It is formed from the noun távlatok (horizons, distances) combined with the locative suffix -nál, indicating position near or at a location. Grammatically, it functions as a prepositional expression and is primarily used in literary or descriptive contexts rather than in ordinary everyday speech.

In language and literature, távlatoknál is employed as a poetic image to evoke distance, breadth, and the edge of perception. The expression often carries metaphorical weight, suggesting openness, future possibilities, or a sense of approaching yet not fully attainable prospects. Because of its evocative nature, it appears in poetry, prose, travel writing, and visual-arts criticism as a means to convey atmosphere or viewpoint rather than a literal scene.

The phrase is not known to designate a widely recognized concept, movement, or canonical work. Instead, its significance rests on context: it signals a perspective positioned near multiple horizons, whether describing landscapes, mental states, or philosophical outlooks. As such, távlatoknál functions primarily as a stylistic device within Hungarian stylistics and literary analysis.
