fesztiválra

Fesztiválra is a Hungarian word-formation that combines the noun fesztivál (festival) with the directional suffix -ra. It denotes movement toward a festival or a purpose related to a festival and is commonly translated as "to the festival" in English. Grammatically, the form signals destination and is used with verbs of motion or verbs that take a destination as their object.

In Hungarian, the suffix -ra/-re attaches to a stem to mark direction toward a place or event. When combined with fesztivál, the result is fesztiválra, with the exact suffix chosen to match vowel harmony. The form is typical after verbs such as megyek, készül, vagy vásároltam, where the action relates to the festival.

Examples include: "Megyek a fesztiválra." (I am going to the festival.) "Készülök a fesztiválra." (I am preparing for the festival.) "Jegyet vásároltam a fesztiválra." (I bought a ticket for the festival.) These illustrate how fesztiválra can indicate the destination of movement or the event for which an action is performed.

Fesztiválra is one of several Hungarian directional suffixes and contrasts with other case forms such as -ba/-be (into) or -on/-en/-ön (on/at). Its use depends on the verb and the intended sense of direction toward a place or event, with vowel harmony guiding the exact suffix form.
