közelítésénél

"Közelítésénél" is a Hungarian word that translates to "upon approaching" or "at the approach of." It is a verbal form, specifically the historical conditional of the verb "közelíteni," meaning "to approach." The suffix "-nél" in Hungarian indicates location or time, often signifying "at," "near," or "upon." Therefore, "közelítésénél" describes an action or state that occurs at the specific moment of something or someone getting closer.

This form is often used in descriptive writing to convey a sense of anticipation or the unfolding of an event. For example, one might say "A vonat érkezésénél" (at the train's arrival) or "A vendégek közelítésénél" (upon the guests' approach). It's a grammatical construction that emphasizes the temporal aspect of an approaching action or entity. While less common in everyday spoken Hungarian compared to other conditional forms, it still holds a place in more formal or literary contexts. Understanding its structure, derived from the verb "közelíteni" and the locative suffix "-nél," is key to grasping its meaning and usage.
