kültérre

Kültérre is a Hungarian adverbial form that denotes movement toward or location in the outdoors. It is derived from the noun kultér, meaning the outdoors or open air, and the directional suffix -re, which marks a destination or target. The expression is used with verbs of motion or placement to indicate that an action takes place outside.

Etymology and form: kultér combines with the suffix -re to form kultérre, the standard way to express “to the outdoors.” The word sits within a broader system of Hungarian postpositional suffixes that convey direction, location, and movement relative to outdoor space. It is typically contrasted with indoor or sheltered contexts, such as kultérben (in the outdoors) or a helyszín zárt térében (in a closed space).

Usage: Kultérre is common in everyday language, especially in the context of events, travel, or activities planned for outdoor spaces. It appears in sentences describing where an action is directed or where it will take place. It is appropriate in formal and informal discourse and is frequently found in event schedules, travel notices, and weather-related descriptions.

Examples:

- A rendezvényt kultúrtre tervezték, hogy szabadtéri környezetben legyen.

- Nyáron kultérre megyünk, mert könnyen lehet kint maradni az esti órákig.
