Tól

Túl is a Hungarian word that primarily functions as an adverb meaning "beyond" or "too much." It is used to express exceeding a limit, distance, or degree, and it appears in many common expressions. Examples include "túl késő" (too late), "túl sok" (too much), and "túl gyorsan" (too quickly). In spatial terms, it can indicate being on the far side of something, as in "túloldal" (the other side).

As a prefix, túl- is productive in Hungarian and is used to form compounds that convey excess, surpassing a boundary, or an extreme degree. A well-known example is "túlélő," derived from the verb "túlélni" (to survive), meaning a survivor. Other formations emphasize exaggeration or excess in adjectives and nouns, reflecting the sense of going beyond a normal limit. The prefix generally integrates with the root to create a new word rather than remaining a separate element, and its accent and spelling follow standard Hungarian rules.

In grammar, túl is an adverb and a productive bound morpheme in compound formation. It does not function as a standalone noun, and its meanings are largely determined by the surrounding words. In everyday language, túl appears across registers from colloquial speech to formal writing, contributing a concise way to express excess, urgency, or extent.
