nyílásnál

Nyílásnál is a locative form of the noun nyílás, meaning “at the opening” or “by the opening.” Nyílás refers to an opening, hole, aperture, or orifice in a surface, boundary, or structure. The form nyílásnál is created by adding the locative suffix -nál to nyílás and signals the location of an action or state in relation to that opening.

Use and nuance: Nyílásnál is used in literal senses to indicate position near or at an opening, such as a window, a cave entrance, or a ventilation opening, and it appears in technical or descriptive texts. It can be combined with compounds like ablaknyílásnál (at the window opening) or barlangnyílásnál (at the cave entrance). In everyday language, nyílásnál tends to be neutral or formal, while ľyuknál is more colloquial.

Contexts: The term covers architectural, engineering, geological, and anatomical contexts where an opening exists. In anatomy, related forms include szájnyílás (mouth opening) or fülnyílás (ear opening), used to describe location relative to the opening. In geology or construction, nyílásnál may describe a position near a crack, tunnel, or cavity opening. The choice between nyílásnál and more specific compounds depends on precision and register.

Examples:

- A barlang nyílásnál állt a csoport.

- A szellőzőnyílásnál érkezett a hűvös levegő.

- Az ablaknyílásnál csukódott a redőny.

Nyílásnál thus functions as a precise locative reference to the site of an opening, enabling clear descriptions of spatial relations in Hungarian.
