Egyötödét

Egyötödét is a Hungarian expression that denotes one fifth of something. It refers to a specific portion or share that amounts to 1/5 of a known whole. The form egyötödét is the definite-object version used when the fifth part is the object of the verb or a clearly defined quantity.

Formation and grammar: It is built from egy (one) + ötöd (fifth). The suffix -ét marks the definite direct object, signaling that the speaker refers to a particular fifth portion rather than any fifth. The basic noun form is egyötöd; egyötödét is used in sentences where the fifth portion is definite.

Usage: In everyday language, egyötödét typically occurs with verbs that take a definite object, such as megkóstolta or felhasználták. Examples: A tortából egyötödét megkóstolta. A projekt költségvetéséből egyötödét felhasználták. In mathematical or formal contexts, speakers may use egyötöd részét or az összeg egyötöde to express the same idea in a more neutral style.

See also: ötöd, negyed (negyed), törtrész, rész (portion). These terms relate to fractions and parts of a whole in Hungarian and are used to describe shares in both everyday and technical language.
