csontjaiból

Csontjaiból is a Hungarian grammatical form meaning “from his/her bones.” It is not a standalone lexical item but the combination of the noun csont (bone) with the plural possessive csontjai (his/her bones) and the postposition -ból (from, out of). The full form csontjaiból thus denotes origin or source, typically in reference to bones, either literally (a sample taken from bones) or figuratively in descriptive language.

Morphology and usage

The base noun csont takes the plural possessive csontjai for “his/her bones.” The suffix -ból marks origin or extraction from a plural noun, yielding csontjaiból. This construction follows standard Hungarian patterns for possessive nouns in combination with the postposition -ból/-ből. While it can describe physical provenance (for example, a sample taken from someone’s bones), it is more commonly encountered in medical, forensic, or literary contexts where precise or dramatic description is desired.

Nuance and context

In everyday language, the phrase is somewhat specialized and may feel formal or clinical when used outside medical or scholarly writing. In literature, it can contribute to vivid imagery about anatomy, endurance, or lineage, depending on the surrounding content.

Examples

- A patológus a csontjaiból vett mintát elemezte. (The pathologist analyzed the sample taken from the bones.)

- A történet kiindulópontja a csontjaiból rejtett emlékek feltárása volt. (The story begins with uncovering memories hidden from the bones.)
