peronról

Peronról is the ablative form of the Hungarian noun peron, meaning a railway platform. In Hungarian, the ablative suffix -ról (or -ről) marks origin or starting point, and is used to express “from” or “from the platform” in sentences. For plural references, the form becomes peronokról (“from the platforms”). The construction is common in everyday speech as well as in railway and travel contexts.

Usage and meaning

Peronról can indicate the physical starting point of movement, the source of something, or the topic of discussion about the platform. It appears in sentences describing where something originates: a train may depart from the platform (A vonat a peronról indul). It can also introduce information or sounds coming from the platform (A peronról érkezett a hang). In many cases the same idea can be expressed with other location or topic forms, but peronról specifically conveys origin “from the platform.”

Examples

- A vonat a peronról indul. (The train departs from the platform.)

- A peronról érkező hang hallatszott. (A sound coming from the platform was heard.)

- Beszélünk a peronról. (We are talking about the platform.)

Notes

Peronról is widely used in railway discourse and travel writing, but it also functions in broader Hungarian to denote origin or topic when associated with the noun peron. The word peron itself is a loanword and has become a standard term in modern Hungarian vocabulary.
