Most Hungarian cities and Hungary itself use this case:
- Budapestre megyek. I am going to Budapest.
- Budapesten vagyok. I am in Budapest.
- Budapestről jövök. I am coming from Budapest.
- Magyarországról jöttem tegnap. I came from Hungary yesterday.
This acts like "out of", "from out of" and "from" in English. For example, taking a
match out of the box, a cat from a bag, etc.
It additionally means "from" when applied to most non-Hungarian cities and countries. We we say, "I am from London"
it is translated as:
Londonból jövök
I come from London (Literally, I come out of London).
