határig

Határig is a Hungarian adverb meaning “to the border” or “up to the border.” It is formed from the noun határ (border) and the suffix -ig, which marks the upper limit of a range.

Usage and function: Határig is used with verbs of movement or spatial description to indicate the limit of travel or extent. It can describe how far something extends, or where an action ends. For example: “Az út a határig vezet.” (The road leads to the border.) “A folyó határig kanyarog.” (The river winds up to the border.) “A vasútvonal a határig ér.” (The railway line reaches the border.)

Grammar notes: -ig is a common Hungarian suffix that denotes extent or limit, attached directly to a noun or a derived form. Határig does not function as a standalone noun and is not capitalized unless it starts a sentence.

Translations and nuance: In English, határig is typically rendered as “to the border” or “up to the border.” It conveys a sense of geographic limit and is frequently used in travel, geography, and descriptions of routes or natural features.

See also: határ (border); -ig suffix; határidő (deadline, literally “to the border time” in compound sense, illustrating the range-terminating function of -ig).

Határig is a standard, non-proper noun in Hungarian, primarily used in descriptive or directional contexts to specify distance or extent toward a national or administrative boundary.
