útvonalakba

útvonalakba is a Hungarian word form that functions as the illative case of the plural noun útvonal. It translates roughly as “into routes” or “into the routes.” The word is built from útvonal (route, path) with the plural suffix -ak, followed by the illative suffix -ba (into), yielding útvonalakba.

Morphology and formation: The base noun útvonal forms the plural útvonalak. To express direction toward multiple routes, the illative suffix -ba is added to the plural stem, producing útvonalakba. Hungarian illative forms follow vowel harmony, so the corresponding forms include -ba for back vowels and -be for front vowels. In this case, the back-vowel form -ba is used. The result is a single word that combines plurality with the illative meaning.

Usage: útvonalakba is typical in technical, planning, and geographic contexts where an action or attribute is directed toward multiple routes. It can appear in sentences describing integration, insertion, or interaction with routes, such as in transportation planning, GIS mapping, or urban-design documentation. The construction highlights movement or placement toward the routes collectively rather than toward a single route.

Examples:

- A projekt során az útvonalakba tervezett frissítések növelik a közlekedés hatékonyságát.

- Az útvonalakba illesztett jelzőrendszer segíti a közlekedők tájékozódását.
