felülre

Felülre is a Hungarian directional adverb formed from felül (on top, above) plus the postpositional suffix -re, which signals movement toward a surface. The term is used to describe placement onto or toward the upper surface of another object. It conveys both a location and a directional endpoint, answering questions of “where to?” in relation to the top face of a reference object.

In Hungarian grammar, felülre typically occurs with verbs of placement or movement, indicating that an item is being moved to or positioned on the upper side of something. It is distinct from felül, which more often describes the position of an object as being on top, and from fölé, which denotes a position above without explicit contact with a surface. The -re ending gives a sense of destination or contact with the upper surface.

Felülre is most commonly found in technical, architectural, or instructional contexts where precise spatial relationships matter, such as assembly directions or design specifications. It can also appear in descriptive prose to emphasize layering or stacking of elements, though its usage is less frequent in everyday casual speech.

Etymologically, felülre reflects a combination of the spatial adverb felül with the directional suffix -re, illustrating how Hungarian forms compound directional expressions to specify placement and movement in space.
