irányokba

irányokba is a Hungarian directional expression formed from the noun irány (direction) with the plural suffix -ok and the directional suffix -ba, resulting in irányokba, meaning “into directions” or “toward directions.” It is used to indicate movement toward multiple directions or reference to several possible directions, either literally in navigation or metaphorically in planning and description.

Morphology and usage: The base is irány (direction). The plural form is irányok. The suffix -ba marks movement into or toward a space, and when combined with the plural it yields irányokba. The phrase typically functions as an adverbial complement of motion or a broader contextual reference to multiple directions. It is commonly attached to verbs of movement such as indul (to set off) or halad (to advance). For example, a simple sentence could be: A csapat irányokba indul. (The team heads off in directions.)

Nuance and context: irányokba tends to appear in contexts dealing with navigation, exploration, or strategic planning where several possible routes or outcomes are considered. It can carry a literal sense (moving toward several directions) or a figurative sense (considering multiple possible directions for a project or inquiry). In everyday speech, speakers might instead prefer phrases like irányok felé (toward directions) or discuss specific directions, depending on the precision required.
