Évszázadoktól

Évszázadoktól is a Hungarian word that translates to "from centuries" or "for centuries." It is a temporal adverbial phrase used to indicate a duration of time spanning over many centuries. The phrase emphasizes a long and continuous period, suggesting a historical depth or a very long-standing tradition. It is often employed in contexts discussing history, culture, or enduring natural phenomena.

For example, one might say a particular building has stood for centuries, or a certain custom has been practiced for centuries. In Hungarian, "évszázadoktól" conveys this sense of vast historical span. It is not a single word but a combination of "évszázad," meaning "century," and the postposition "-tól," which signifies "from." The phrase highlights the starting point of this extended duration or the origin of something that has persisted throughout these many years. Its usage implies a significant passage of time, far beyond mere decades or even a single century.
