Távolságától

Távolságától is a Hungarian grammatical form that appears as the ablative case of the noun távolság (distance) with a third-person singular possessive suffix. The result, távolságától, means "from its distance" and is used to mark the starting point or source of a relation described relative to a distance. It is not a standalone lexeme, but a morphological construction that occurs in formal, technical, or literary text.

Morphology: távolság (distance) + -a- possessive suffix to yield távolsága (its distance), then the ablative suffix -tól attaches to the possessed form, producing távolságától ("from its distance"). The suffixal order follows Hungarian patterns for noun phrases: stem + possessive, then case suffix. The form agrees with the possessor by context; the referent is a noun in the main clause.

Usage: It typically appears when the distance is a defined referent for another element in the sentence, especially in descriptive, spatial, or measurement-related contexts. It is relatively infrequent in everyday speech and more common in technical writing, analysis, or poetry. It contrasts with távolságtól, which expresses "from distance" in a general sense without specifying a possessed referent.
