Cikket

Cikket is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun cikk, which means article, typically a piece of writing such as a newspaper or magazine article. In Hungarian, direct objects that are definite or specifically identifiable are marked with the suffix -et, yielding forms like cikket.

The form cikket is used when referring to a specific article or when the article is being treated as a definite object in the sentence. For example: "Látom a cikket" (I see the article) or "Szeretném olvasni a cikket" (I would like to read the article). The indefinite counterpart is often expressed with egy cikket (an article). The plural accusative form is cikkeket (the articles, as objects).

In everyday use, cikket can appear in various contexts related to journalism or written pieces, such as news reporting, editorial discussions, or literary essays. Because Hungarian does not have separate article words like the, a or an in English, the determiner or definiteness is conveyed through the noun’s form and surrounding phrases rather than a separate article word.

Summary: cikket is not a standalone lexical item beyond its role as the accusative singular of cikk; it signals that the speaker is referring to “the article” or “an article” as a direct object in a sentence. Its plural form is cikkeket, used for multiple articles.
