kórháznál

kórháznál is a Hungarian word that translates to "at the hospital" or "by the hospital" in English. It is a locative case suffix, indicating a position or location in relation to a hospital. This suffix is commonly used in everyday conversation to specify where an event is taking place or where someone is located. For example, "Az orvos kórháznál dolgozik" means "The doctor works at the hospital." Similarly, "Várj rám kórháznál" translates to "Wait for me by the hospital." The word "kórház" itself means "hospital." The addition of the "-nál" suffix transforms it into a locative adverbial phrase, providing more context about the location. This grammatical feature is typical of agglutinative languages like Hungarian, where suffixes are added to root words to modify their meaning or grammatical function. Understanding such suffixes is crucial for comprehending Hungarian sentence structure and expressing spatial relationships accurately. The concept of indicating location relative to a significant landmark like a hospital is common across many languages, but Hungarian employs specific suffixes for this purpose.
