hidaknál

Hidaknál is a Hungarian locative expression meaning "at the bridges" or "by the bridges." It is formed from the plural noun hidak (bridges) plus the postposition -nál, which marks a location in relation to a place. The singular form is hídnál, meaning "at the bridge," while hidaknál signals proximity to more than one bridge or to a general area around multiple bridges.

Usage in Hungarian typically describes location in maps, directions, or travel writing. It can indicate a place along a river or road network where several bridges are present or where the area around several bridges is relevant to the context. The phrase is often used in descriptive prose or everyday speech to convey a geographic reference without identifying a specific bridge.

Examples:

- A turisták a hidaknál várakoztak, hogy megnézzék a folyót. (The tourists waited by the bridges to look at the river.)

- A kis vendéglő a hidaknál található, nem messze a pékség előtt. (The small eatery is located by the bridges, not far from the bakery.)

Etymology and notes: hidaknál combines hidak (bridges) with the locative suffix -nál. It contrasts with hídnál ("at the bridge") and is particularly useful when referring to areas near multiple bridges rather than a single structure.
