bútorokra

Bútorokra is a Hungarian grammatical form that means “onto the furniture” or “to the furniture” in the allative plural. It is formed from the noun bútor (furniture) with the plural ending -ok and the allative ending -ra, resulting in bútorokra. The form illustrates how Hungarian combines number and direction in a single suffix sequence.

In Hungarian, the allative case expresses direction toward a place or surface. When applied to a plural noun, the ending becomes -okra (matching vowel harmony and phonology). Therefore, bútorokra literally refers to movement toward or onto multiple pieces of furniture or toward furniture in general.

Usage and examples:

- Tegyük a könyvet a bútorokra. (Let's put the book onto the furniture.)

- Helyezd a tálakat a bútorokra, hogy tárolásra legyenek szállítás közben. (Place the dishes on the furniture to keep them out of the way during transport.)

Notes:

- The singular allative form is bútorra, meaning “onto the furniture” in reference to a single piece or a collective sense of the furniture as a whole.

- Bútorokra is primarily a directional/place expression and is used with verbs of placement or movement.
