Fiatalokat

Fiatalokat is a Hungarian word form that functions as the plural accusative of fiatal, meaning young person or young people. It is used when the group of youths is the direct object of a verb or a preposition in a sentence. For example, in the sentence A szervezet a fiatalokat támogatja, the word fiatalokat denotes “the young people” as what is being supported.

In Hungarian, fiatalok is the nominative plural form meaning “the young people,” while fiatalokat is the corresponding accusative plural. The difference reflects a broader pattern in Hungarian grammar, where noun phrases change form to indicate case and syntactic function. The base word fiatal can also act as an adjective describing age, but when it refers to people as a group, the plural forms fiatalok or fiatalokat are commonly used depending on grammatical role.

Usage and context: fiatalokat appears across media, education, policy, and social discourse to refer to youths as a group. It can appear in discussions about programs, research, or services aimed at young people. Because age definitions vary by context, the exact age range associated with “young people” in Hungarian texts is not fixed and may differ between policies, studies, and institutions.

See also: fiatalok, fiatal, fiatalítás. The term highlights how Hungarian marks grammatical roles through inflection, and it underscores the common linguistic distinction between the nominative (fiatalok) and accusative (fiatalokat) forms when referring to groups of youths.
