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 vagyok I am from London (Literally, I am out of London).

This is the movement away from member of the triads. Essentially any three dimensional object that has an inside, such as a box or waldrobe, uses this triad.

	Tett könyvet az szekrénybe. He put a book into the cupboard.
	Aztán a könyv az szekrényben volt. Then the book was in the cupboard.
	Azután, vitt könyvet az szekrényből. After that, he took a book out of the cupboard.

Generally, flat surfaces use this triad: table, street, face, etc.

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 vagyok. I am from Hungary (i.e. I am Hungarian).
