kezdetektl

Kezdetektl is a Hungarian term used to describe a temporal expression that means “from the beginning.” The ASCII rendering kezdetektl corresponds to the diacritic form kezdetektől. The word combines kezdet, meaning “beginning,” with the postposition től, meaning “from,” forming a prepositional phrase that marks the starting point of an action or duration.

Etymology and form

The construction is built from the noun kezdet and the postposition -től. In standard spelling, the full form is kezdetektől, while kezdetektl is the ASCII variant often seen in informal texts or datasets lacking diacritics. The expression functions as a temporal modifier that anchors events to their point of origin.

Usage

Kezdetektől is used to express continuity from the outset. Common collocations include kezdetektől fogva (from the very beginning) and kezdetektől napjainkig (from the beginning to the present). It appears in narrative prose, formal writing, and speech to emphasize persistence or a long duration since an initial moment.

Grammar and semantics

The phrase acts as a prepositional temporal modifier. It does not itself denote an action but specifies the starting point of its reference. In broader Hungarian syntax, it can combine with verbs and other modifiers to articulate duration, progression, or comparison relative to the initial point.
