északnyugaton

északnyugaton is a Hungarian adverb meaning "in the northwest," used to indicate a location within a larger area such as a country, region, or locality. It is formed from the compound északnyugat (northwest) with the locative suffix -on, giving északnyugaton. This form denotes a static location rather than a direction of movement.

In use, északnyugaton functions as an adverb of place and can modify verbs or whole clauses. Examples: "A város északnyugaton található." "Északnyugaton gyakran fúj a szél." The term appears in geographic descriptions, maps, travel writing, and news reporting to situate places relative to the rest of a territory. It is common in descriptions of climate, economy, culture, and demographics tied to that part of the landscape.

Related terms include északnyugat (northwest) and északnyugati (northwestern). To express movement toward that area, Hungarian uses északnyugatra rather than északnyugaton. The word form északnyugaton specifically marks a location "in the northwest" rather than a destination.
