hajóktól

The term "hajóktól" is the Hungarian language's genitive plural form of the word "hajó," which translates to "ship" or "boat" in English. Therefore, "hajóktól" specifically means "from ships" or "from boats." This grammatical construction is used when referring to something originating from or being separated from multiple ships or boats.

In Hungarian grammar, the genitive case typically indicates possession or origin. When applied to the plural form of a noun, it signifies that the source or origin is multiple entities of that noun. For instance, one might say "Minden tárgy a hajóktól érkezett," which translates to "All items arrived from the ships." Here, "hajóktól" clearly denotes that the items originated from more than one ship.

The suffix "-tól" is added to nouns ending in vowels to form the genitive plural. If the noun were to end in a consonant, a different suffix, such as "-től," would be used, depending on vowel harmony rules. Understanding "hajóktól" involves recognizing both the base word "hajó" and the grammatical function of the genitive plural suffix in Hungarian.
