1975ös

1975-ös is a Hungarian adjectival form meaning “from 1975” or “pertaining to the year 1975.” It is commonly used to describe items, events, or periods associated with that calendar year, such as films, books, music, or historical occurrences. The standard orthography uses a hyphen: 1975-ös. In informal writing the dash is sometimes omitted, yielding 1975ös, but this is considered nonstandard.

Uses and examples

The form typically functions as a modifier that precedes the noun it describes, for example: 1975-ös film, 1975-ös év eseményei, 1975-ös magyar regény. The ending agrees with the noun in number and case, so one can say 1975-ös filmek (films from 1975) as well as 1975-ös filmművészetek (the film arts of 1975), etc. It can describe individual works produced in that year or broader categories such as the 1975-ös filmek vagy 1975-ös zenei kiadványok.

Linguistic notes

The suffix -ös attaches to the numeral to form a-year-related modifier, a common pattern in Hungarian for denoting origin, date, or association. While 1975-ös is standard, other years follow the same rule (e.g., 1980-ös évek, 1960- asztalok, etc.), with the hyphen preserved in formal writing. The construction is not a separate noun but a descriptive modifier used in cataloging, criticism, and historical reference.
