számnál

The Hungarian word "számnál" is a postposition, meaning it follows the noun or pronoun it modifies and conveys a specific grammatical relationship. It is derived from the word "szám," which means "number." When combined with the suffix "-nál/-nél," which indicates location or association (similar to "at," "in," or "with" in English, depending on context), "számnál" typically translates to "at a number" or "by a number."

This postposition is used in various contexts. For instance, it can indicate a position within a sequence or a ranking. If someone is "second in line," in Hungarian, this could be expressed using "számnál" to denote their position. It can also be used to refer to a specific page number in a book or document, indicating "on page X." Furthermore, "számnál" can be employed when discussing the numerical value of something, implying "at this specific quantity." The exact nuance of "számnál" often depends on the preceding word and the overall sentence structure. It is a common and essential element in Hungarian grammar for expressing positional and quantitative relationships.
