házba

Házba is a Hungarian word that translates to "into the house" or "to the house." It is a common and fundamental expression in the Hungarian language used to indicate movement or direction towards a dwelling. The word is formed by combining "ház," meaning "house," with the suffix "-ba," which is a directional case ending denoting entry into something.

This word is frequently encountered in everyday conversation and writing. For example, one might say "Bementem a házba" which means "I went into the house." It can also be used in more figurative senses, although its primary meaning remains literal. The grammatical structure of Hungarian often incorporates case endings directly onto nouns, making "házba" a prime example of this linguistic feature. Understanding the function of the "-ba" suffix is key to comprehending many Hungarian directional phrases. The word itself is straightforward and universally understood by Hungarian speakers in its literal context of entering a house.
