vonalat

Vonalat is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun vonal, meaning line, stroke, or route. It is used when the line is the direct object of a verb, for example in Megrajzoltam a vonalat (I drew the line).

Vonalak and vonal have broad uses. In geometry and drawing, vonal refers to a geometric line or drawn mark. In maps and transportation contexts, it denotes a route or network, as in útvonal (route) or vasútvonal (railway line). The term also occurs in idiomatic expressions describing boundaries, directions, or sequences.

Grammatical notes: as with other Hungarian nouns, vonal forms a direct object with the suffix -at, giving vonalat for singular. The plural form is vonalak. The phrase vonalat therefore marks the object rather than the subject, and its exact form changes with grammatical context.
