kilométerekig

Kilométerekig is a Hungarian word that translates to "for kilometers" or "for miles" in English, depending on the context and the unit of measurement being referred to. It is a plural form of the word "kilométer" (kilometer) or "mérföld" (mile), preceded by the preposition "ki" (out of, from) and the suffix "-kig" (until, up to).

The phrase "kilométerekig" is commonly used to describe a vast distance or a very long journey. For example, one might say "Az út kilométerekig tartott" which means "The road lasted for kilometers." This implies that the journey was extensive and covered a significant distance. Similarly, it can be used figuratively to express a great extent or a long period of time. For instance, "A csend kilométerekig terjedt" could translate to "The silence spread for kilometers," suggesting a profound and widespread quietness.

The word's structure reflects its meaning. The root "kilométer" or "mérföld" establishes the unit of distance. The prefix "ki" suggests an outward or expansive movement, while the suffix "-kig" indicates a duration or extent reaching up to that point. Therefore, "kilométerekig" effectively conveys the idea of covering or experiencing something over a prolonged and considerable distance. It is a common idiomatic expression in Hungarian for emphasizing length or expanse.
