Éveknél

Éveknél is a Hungarian word that can be translated to "years ago" or "in years." It is a plural form used in various contexts to refer to a duration of time or a point in the past. For instance, "több éveknél" means "more than years ago," indicating a significant period of time. Similarly, "számos éveknél" translates to "many years ago."

The word itself is derived from "év," which means "year," and the suffix "-knél," which is a plural form of the locative case suffix "-nél." This grammatical structure signifies a relationship to time. When used without a specific number, "éveknél" often implies a general sense of a past time frame rather than a precise count of years.

In everyday conversation, "éveknél" is employed to express estimations or to emphasize the passage of time. For example, someone might say they haven't seen a particular person in "éveknél," meaning they haven't seen them for a considerable number of years, without specifying an exact number. Its usage is flexible and depends on the surrounding words to convey the precise meaning. The word is an integral part of Hungarian temporal expressions.
