tájra

Tájra is not a separate lexical entry in Hungarian; it is the directional form formed from the noun táj, which means landscape or scenery. The suffix -ra (or -re, depending on vowel harmony) attaches to táj to express movement toward or onto the landscape, or a directional focus toward the landscape within a sentence.

Formation and usage: The base noun táj takes the allative-type suffix -ra/-re to yield tájra. This form is used in contexts that emphasize reaching or directing attention to the landscape. For example, "A turista a tájra mutat" means "The tourist points to the landscape," and "A fény a tájra esett" can be rendered as "The light fell on the landscape." The construction is more common in descriptive or literary language than in everyday casual speech.

Usage notes: Because tájra is a suffixal form of táj, it functions as a prepositional-like phrase rather than as an independent word. Its use tends to appear in descriptive writing, scenic description, or poetry where movement toward or onto the landscape is being highlighted. In ordinary conversation, speakers may prefer alternative expressions such as "a táj felé" (toward the landscape) depending on the intended nuance.
