türbe

Térbe is the illative case form of the Hungarian noun tér. It is used to indicate movement into a space, place, or area. In literal use, it marks entry into a physical location such as a room or public square; in figurative use, it can denote entering a field of activity or a new domain.

The base noun tér carries several related senses: space or extent in a three‑dimensional sense; a place or site, including a public square; and metaphorically, a realm or domain. The illative suffix in Hungarian generally appears as -ba/-be, and for tér the form combines with the stem to yield térbe. This form is used with verbs of motion or change of state, for example in phrases like entering into a space or entering a field of study or activity.

In usage, térbe often appears with verbs such as bemenni or belépni, which describe entering or stepping into something. The illative not only provides a spatial sense but also supports figurative meanings, such as entering the realm of science, art, or politics, depending on context.
