Élelmiszernél

Élelmiszernél is a locative form in Hungarian derived from the noun élelmiszer, meaning food or groceries. As a grammatical form, it answers questions of location and is used to indicate where something is in relation to foods, such as a particular area or section in a market or store. The phrase élelmiszernél translates roughly as “at the food” or “at the food area” in English.

Morphology and usage: The form is created by attaching the locative suffix -nál/-nél to the noun élelmiszer, producing élelmiszernél. It illustrates Hungarian case morphology and how compound nouns can receive case endings while retaining their base meaning. In standard contemporary usage, élelmiszernél functions as a prepositional phrase element within a sentence and is often found in descriptive, signage, or instructional text rather than as a standalone lexical item.

Contexts: It is most likely to appear in contexts that refer to locations within a place where food is handled or displayed—for example, as part of directions in a supermarket, a market stall, or a cooking instruction that points to the food area. It is less common in casual speech and is more frequently encountered in written descriptions, signage, or catalog entries.
