helyére

Helyére is a Hungarian adverbial phrase formed from the noun hely (place) plus the directional suffix -ére, meaning “to its place” or “to its proper place.” The form is used to indicate movement toward a place or restoration to the correct position, and it can be used both literally and metaphorically.

In usage, helyére typically follows verbs of placement or movement, such as kerül (to be placed) or tét/tesz in the sense of putting something somewhere. The phrase conveys the idea of putting something back in its rightful position or restoring order. It is distinct from the static form helyén, which denotes being in a place rather than moving toward it. Common constructions include a direct command or request (Please put the book in its place: Kérlek, tedd a könyvet a helyére) and descriptions of things being returned to order (A rendetlenség végül a helyére került).

Examples:

- A fotó a helyére került. (The photo has found its place / been put back in its place.)

- Kérlek, tedd a könyvet a helyére. (Please put the book in its place.)

- A rendetlenség végül a helyére került. (The disorder was eventually put in its place / back in order.)

Notes:

- Helyére expresses movement toward a destination, while helyén expresses position or presence in that position.

- The form is typically used with verbs of placing or returning and is common in both literal and figurative contexts involving order, correction, or restoration.
