cukorkból

cukorkból is a form found in Hungarian that expresses origin or material, functioning as the ablative form of a noun. In general, the suffix -ból/-ből attaches to a noun to mean “from” or “out of,” indicating where something comes from or what it is made of.

The standard spellings and uses depend on the root noun. The noun cukor means sugar, and its ablative form is cukorból, meaning “from sugar.” The noun cukorka means candy, and its ablative form is cukorkából, meaning “from candy.” The exact form of the suffix is determined by vowel harmony and by the base word: -ból is used after back vowels, -ből after front vowels. Consequently, the two common correct forms are cukorból and cukorkából.

The sequence cukorkból is not the standard form for either basic root. It is typically a misspelling or a mistaken contraction of cukorból or cukorkából. In standard Hungarian, one should use cukorból when referring to sugar and cukorkából when referring to candy.

Examples:

- A sütemény cukorból készült. (The cake was made from sugar.)

- A desszert cukorkából készült. (The dessert was made from candy.)

These illustrate how the ablative form locates origin or material in a sentence.

Notes:

- The meaning of cukorkból depends on the intended root: sugar or candy.

- Correct usage relies on choosing cukorból or cukorkából according to the base word and applying standard Hungarian vowel harmony rules.
