Állástól

Állástól is a Hungarian word that functions as a postposition, indicating a point of origin or a starting place. It is derived from the word "állás," meaning "job," "position," or "standing," and the suffix "-tól," which signifies "from." Therefore, "állástól" literally translates to "from the job" or "from the position."

In Hungarian grammar, postpositions follow the noun or pronoun they modify, much like prepositions in English precede them. "Állástól" is used to express departure from a state of employment or a specific role. For example, one might say "a munkától állástól távolodott el," meaning "he moved away from work, from his job." This usage emphasizes the transition or separation from a former professional capacity.

The word can also be used in a more figurative sense, referring to a departure from a particular stance or opinion. However, its primary and most common application relates to employment. Understanding "állástól" requires recognizing its grammatical function as a postposition and its semantic connection to the concept of origin or removal from a state of being employed.
