asztalból

Asztalból is the ablative singular form of the Hungarian noun asztal, meaning table. It marks the origin or starting point from which something is taken, removed, or emerges. In Hungarian, -ból is the ablative suffix used to indicate source, and asztalból does not involve any special spelling changes beyond the usual suffix attachment.

Usage and function: The form is used with verbs that describe taking or arising from a position or surface. It denotes “from the table” in a spatial sense or when indicating the source of something. It is not a preposition but a case suffix, reflecting Hungarian’s agglutinative, suffix-based grammar.

Examples:

- A levelet az asztalból vettem ki. (I took the letter from the table.)

- A kulcs az asztalból került elő. (The key came out from the table.)

Notes: In Hungarian, -ból has a corresponding -ból/-ból pair depending on vowel harmony. With a consonant-final noun like asztal, the form is asztalból. The phrase can pair with various verbs of removal, emergence, or origin to indicate source. Related forms include other ablative constructions for different nouns, and contrastive phrases such as az asztalról (on the table) to express location rather than source. The term is common in everyday language and written text alike.
