The noun ending -kor is used to express "at ... time". It may be added to the cardinal
number or the word for hour:
-
Találkoztunk négykor We met at four (o'clock)
-
Találkoztunk négy órákor We met at four o'clock
Of course, -kor can apply to the demonstrative pronouns too, to give:
-
az + -kor = akkor at that time
-
ez + -kor = ekkor at this time
Akkor (at that time) is used as "then":
Mikor hazamesz? Akkor látlak.
When are you coming home? I'll see you then. (When home-you-come? At-that-time I-see-you)
Amikor Budapesten reggel 8 óra van, akkor Londonban még csak 7 óra van.
When in Budapest it's 8 in the morning, then in London it's still just 7.
Amikor New Yorkban reggel 7 akkor Szófiában már 14:00 van.
When in New York it's 7 in the morning, then in Sofia it's already 14:00.
This ending can also be used to mean an era or an epoch. The most obvious is gyerekkor
- childhood.
Gyerekkoromban, nem voltam kövér. In my childhood, I was not fat.
Gyerek-kor-om-ban: child-era-my-in.
