órának

The term "órának" is a Hungarian word that translates to "for an hour" or "hourly" in English. It is a compound word derived from "óra," meaning "hour," and the suffix "-nak," which indicates a dative case, signifying purpose or recipient. This grammatical structure allows it to function in various contexts within the Hungarian language.

For example, "órának" can be used to specify a duration of time. A phrase like "órának a munkám" would mean "my work for an hour." It can also indicate a frequency. "Fizetés óránként" translates to "payment hourly," meaning payment is made based on the number of hours worked. In some instances, it can imply a relative or approximate timing, similar to how English might use "around the hour" or "for the hour." The precise meaning often depends on the surrounding words and the overall sentence structure. Understanding "órának" is key to comprehending temporal relationships and durations within Hungarian sentences.
