Távtól
Távtól is a form in Hungarian that marks origin or starting point in space, formed from the noun táv (distance) with the ablative suffix -tól. The resulting form távtól means “from a distance” or “from afar.” It is used in spatial expressions to indicate a point from which something begins or is measured. In many contexts it appears alongside phrases that specify a reference distance, such as távtól számítva or távtól függően.
Távtól is created by attaching the suffix -tól to the noun táv. The construction behaves like a
- távtól számítva, meaning “calculated from a given distance” or “as of a distance.”
- távtól függően, meaning “depending on the distance.”
- távtól függetlenül, meaning “independent of the distance” or “regardless of the distance.”
Távtól interacts with other Hungarian case forms and postpositions the same way as related ablative constructions.
