because of

"Because of" is miatt in Hungarian. It should be noted that miatt is a postposition, which means that it is placed after the word it governs. In the Hungarian language, we have a lot of postpositions. 

Let's see a few examples:

  • a rossz idő miatt = because of the bad weather
  • a rossz idő miatt otthon maradtunk = because of the bad weather, we stayed at home

It is not unusual to use miatt when we blame somebody or something for something bad:

  • Joe miatt vesztettünk = we lost because of Joe

Another example: 

  • egy baleset miatt = because of an accident
  • egy baleset miatt lezárták az utat = they closed the road because of an accident
