tisztításáig

The phrase *tisztításáig* is a Hungarian prepositional phrase that translates to "until cleaning" or "until it is cleaned" in English. It is commonly used in everyday Hungarian language to indicate a duration or a point in time when a task, such as cleaning, will be completed. The phrase is often employed in contexts where an object, surface, or space remains in a particular state (e.g., dirty, wet, or cluttered) until a specific cleaning process is finished.

In Hungarian, the phrase is frequently paired with verbs of action, such as *marad* (to remain), *áll* (to stay), or *vízben van* (to be in water). For example, one might say *"A padló vízben van tisztításáig"* ("The floor is wet until cleaning"), meaning the floor remains wet until it is cleaned. This construction helps convey a temporary condition that will change once the specified action is completed.

The phrase is particularly useful in household, professional, or maintenance contexts where timing and sequence matter. It can also appear in instructions, warnings, or informal conversations to clarify when a certain state will no longer apply. While *tisztításáig* is straightforward in meaning, its usage reflects the Hungarian language’s tendency to combine verbs with noun-based temporal expressions for clarity.

The phrase is not limited to literal cleaning tasks; it can also metaphorically describe processes where an object or area is "cleaned" of a condition, such as dust, stains, or disarray. However, its primary meaning remains tied to physical cleaning activities.
