Az információ az intézettől származik.

• Az információ = the information
• az intézettől = from the institute
• származik = comes / originates

So the structure is basically:

[subject/topic] + [source] + [verb]

A useful thing to notice is that Hungarian does not use a separate word like English from here. Instead, from is built into the noun with a suffix: intézettől.

Because both nouns are definite:

• az információ = the information
• az intézettől = from the institute

In Hungarian, the definite article belongs to the noun phrase that follows it, just like English the. So each az goes with its own noun.

Hungarian has two forms of the definite article:

• a before a consonant sound
• az before a vowel sound

Since both információ and intézettől begin with a vowel sound, the article is az.

For example:

• a könyv = the book
• az iskola = the school

The base word is intézet, meaning institute.

Then Hungarian adds the suffix -tól/-től, which here means from.

So:

• intézet = institute
• intézettől = from the institute

The full phrase is:

• az intézettől = from the institute

The suffix -tól/-től is a case ending, traditionally called the ablative case.

This is because of vowel harmony, which is very important in Hungarian.

Hungarian suffixes often come in two versions:

• a back-vowel version: -tól
• a front-vowel version: -től

Since intézet contains front vowels (i, é, e), it takes the front-vowel form:

• intézet + től → intézettől

Because the word already ends in t, and the suffix also begins with t:

• intézet
• -től

When they combine, both t sounds stay:

• intézet + től → intézettől

In pronunciation, this is a longer or stronger t sound, not just a spelling accident.

Származik means comes from, originates from, or derives from.

In this sentence, it tells you the source of the information. So the idea is that the information originates with the institute.

The dictionary form is származni.
Származik is the 3rd person singular present form: it comes / it originates.

Because származik is specifically about origin or source, not just movement.

• jön = comes in the sense of movement
• származik = comes from / originates from in the sense of source or origin

So if you are talking about where information, an idea, a quote, or a person’s family background comes from, származik is often the better choice.

Hungarian word order is more flexible than English word order.

In this sentence, Az információ is the topic, and az intézettől appears right before the verb, which is a very natural place for the source phrase with származik.

A useful rule of thumb is that the part right before the verb often carries important information or emphasis. So az intézettől can sound like the key piece of information here.

The verb is not always at the end in Hungarian. Word order changes depending on what is being emphasized.

Yes. Hungarian has several different ways to say from, and they are not interchangeable.

Here, -tól/-től fits well because the source is an institution, almost like a provider or originator of the information.

Compare:

• az intézettől = from the institute
• a házból = out of the house
• az asztalról = off the table
• Budapestről származik = he/she is from Budapest

So Hungarian chooses different from endings depending on the type of source or location involved.

Yes, információ is singular here.

Hungarian információ can be used much like English information, but grammatically it behaves like a normal noun. So it can appear in singular or plural:

• információ = information
• információk = pieces of information / information items

In this sentence, Az információ means the information as a single whole.
