tólszármazékok

Tólszármazékok, also known as ablative derivatives, are a type of word formation process in Hungarian, where a word is derived from another word by adding the suffix "-tól" or "-től". This suffix indicates the source, origin, or cause of an action or state. The choice between "-tól" and "-től" depends on the phonetic environment of the preceding vowel. The suffix "-tól" is used after consonants, while "-től" is used after vowels.

For example, the word "ház" (house) can be derived to mean "from the house" by adding the suffix "-tól", resulting in "házatól". Similarly, the word "szék" (chair) can be derived to mean "from the chair" by adding the suffix "-től", resulting in "széktől".

Tólszármazékok are commonly used in Hungarian to express various relationships and connections between words. They are an important aspect of the language's morphology and contribute to its rich and expressive vocabulary.
