zajtól

Zajtól is a Hungarian postpositional form derived from the noun zaj, meaning noise. It expresses origin or separation, roughly corresponding to “from the noise” in English. The form is created by attaching the suffix -tól to zaj, yielding zajtól. In Hungarian, suffixes of this type indicate source or distance, and the exact spelling follows vowel harmony; with a back-vowel stem like zaj, the suffix appears as -tól (zajtól).

Zajtól is commonly used in both literal and figurative contexts to denote that something originates from or is distant from noise. It appears in several idiomatic phrases, such as zajtól függetlenül (regardless of the noise) and zajtól távol (far from the noise). The construction can also combine with other modifiers to describe environments or conditions, for example zajtól mentes környezet (a noise-free environment).

Examples illustrate its usage: A szoba zajtól távol van, hogy nyugodt legyen. This sentence means the room is far from the noise to keep it quiet. Zajtól függetlenül folytatta a beszédet means he continued the speech regardless of the noise. These phrases show how zajtól functions as a marker of source or influence, while integrating smoothly with common Hungarian collocations.
