Zsinóron

Zsinóron is the locative form of the Hungarian noun zsinór, meaning rope or cord. It marks a position on or along a rope or cord and is used with inanimate nouns in sentences describing where something is located or suspended. The form is created by adding the suffix -on to zsinór, following Hungarian vowel harmony rules, resulting in zsinóron.

In usage, zsinóron typically appears with verbs of position or hanging, such as lóg (to hang) or van (to be). For example: A ruhák zsinóron lógnak. The clothes hang on the rope. A zászló a zsinóron van. The flag is on the rope. These constructions describe a static location rather than movement toward the rope.

Relation to other locative forms: zsinóron belongs to the set of Hungarian locative endings with -on/-en/-ön. The choice of ending reflects general rules about attaching location suffixes to nouns; zsinóron specifically denotes being on a rope or cord rather than on other surfaces. As with other location cases in Hungarian, context and the accompanying verb help determine whether the phrase conveys location, contact, or an object being supported by the rope.
