Unióból

Unióból is a Hungarian prepositional phrase formed from the noun unió (“union”) and the suffix -ból, which marks origin. It literally means “from the union” and its exact sense depends on context. The phrase can refer to a political union, most commonly the European Union, or to a labor or trade union, depending on what unió denotes in the sentence.

Etymology and form: The base unió derives from Latin unio through Hungarian usage, and -ból is a postpositional suffix indicating origin or departure from the referent. When Unió is capitalized, the expression generally points to the European Union; in lowercase, it functions as a generic term for any union.

Usage: In political discourse, Unióból appears in phrases about membership or withdrawal, such as “az Unióból való kilépésről szóló döntés,” meaning a decision on withdrawal from the Union. In modern Hungarian, references to the European Union more commonly use “Európai Unió” or “az Unió” in rhetorical or formal style; Unióból is typical mainly in headlines or formal prose about EU-related matters. For discussions about labor unions, speakers more often use lowercase unió or direct terms like “a szakszervezetből” to indicate leaving a specific union, depending on context.
