magyarázatul

Magyarázatul is a Hungarian word that translates to "for explanation" or "as an explanation" in English. It functions as a postposition or a conjunction, indicating the purpose or reason behind a preceding statement or action.

When used as a postposition, magyarázatul typically follows a noun or pronoun, specifying that the preceding element is being presented as an explanation. For instance, in a sentence like "Ezt a könyvet ajándékul kaptam, magyarázatul a múltkori segítségére," the phrase "magyarázatul a múltkori segítségére" means "as an explanation for your help last time." It clarifies that the book is being given as a way to explain or acknowledge the past favor.

As a conjunction, magyarázatul can introduce a clause that provides further clarification or justification for something mentioned earlier. This usage is less common than its postpositional function but serves a similar purpose of elaborating on a preceding idea.

The word itself is derived from the Hungarian verb "magyaráz," which means "to explain." The suffix "-tul" often denotes a purpose or manner. Therefore, "magyarázatul" inherently carries the meaning of "in the manner of explanation" or "for the purpose of explanation." Its usage is characteristic of Hungarian grammatical structure and contributes to the nuanced expression of causality and reasoning within the language.
