Usage notes
Similar compounds are written as one word (in solid) when they function as adverbs or parts of a conjunction. However, if they emphatically point at something particular (“without/around/behind/etc. that person/object”), they are written with a space inside. More information: Section 121 in A magyar helyesírás szabályai, 12. kiadás (’The Rules of Hungarian Orthography, 12th edition’). Budapest: Akadémiai Kiadó, 2015. →ISBN
- A miatt az eset miatt költöztünk el a városból. ― We moved out of town because of that incident.
