Tükröknél

Tükröknél is a Hungarian locative plural form of the noun tükör, meaning “mirror.” It denotes a location at or beside more than one mirror, i.e., “at the mirrors.” The form is built from the plural nominative tükrök plus the locative suffix -nál/-nél; because the stem contains a front vowel (ö), the suffix takes the front-version -nél, producing tükröknél. In standard usage, the phrase is typically accompanied by a definite article: a tükröknél (at the mirrors).

Usage and context

Tükröknél is used to specify where something occurs in relation to multiple mirrors. It is common in descriptive prose about bathrooms, dressing rooms, galleries, or salons, especially when the scene involves several mirrors or reflective surfaces. The construction is primarily factual and scene-setting, rather than idiomatic.

Examples

- A nő a tükröknél állt, és figyelte a mozdulatát.

- A fény a tükröknél verődött vissza, és kitöltötte a termet.

Related terms

- tükör: mirror

- tükrök: mirrors (plural nominative)

- -nál/-nél: locative suffix indicating “at” or “by” (used after plural nouns in this context)

Notes

Tükröknél is typically used with definite nouns (a tükröknél) in standard prose, though in poetic or abbreviated captions it can appear without an article. The form illustrates Hungarian’s system of case and number agreement in a spatial phrase.
