érnél

árnál is the adessive singular form of the Hungarian noun ár, meaning price. In Hungarian grammar, the adessive case marks a location at or near something, and it is formed by adding the suffix -nál to the word. The combination árnál therefore translates roughly to “at the price” or “as regards price.” The form appears primarily in contexts where price is the reference point in a discussion of value, cost, or comparison. It is most common in written, formal, or technical language and is less frequent in everyday speech, where speakers typically use explicit noun phrases such as az ár or a költség.

Usage and nuances: árnál functions as a locative reference to price and can participate in comparisons or descriptions where price serves as a boundary or anchor. Its precise meaning depends on the surrounding verbs and prepositions, and in many contemporary contexts speakers may substitute more common constructions with az ár or a magas/olcsóbb valamivel összefüggő kifejezések.

Relation to other forms: árnál is one example of how Hungarian uses postpositional suffixes to indicate location or reference points. Other nouns may form similarly with -nál/-nél to express “at” or “by” a referenced noun (such as háznál for “at the house”). This pattern is part of standard Hungarian inflection rather than a separate lexical item.
