miktól

miktól is a Hungarian word that functions as a postposition, indicating a starting point in time. It is formed by combining the word "mi" (meaning "what") with the postposition "től" (meaning "from"). When used in a sentence, miktől asks for the point in time from which something originates or begins.

For example, in the question "Mikor indul a vonat?", meaning "When does the train depart?", the word miktől is not explicitly present but is implied by the interrogative "Mikor" (when). However, miktől can be used more directly to inquire about a specific starting point, such as "Ez a szabály miktől érvényes?" which translates to "From what point is this rule valid?". In this context, miktől seeks to identify the temporal origin of the rule's applicability. It is often used in questions to establish a temporal boundary or reference. The word stresses the beginning of a period or event.
