Figurát

Figurát is a Hungarian noun form derived from figura, meaning figure or figurine. It represents the definite direct object form (the accusative) of the base noun figura when used in Hungarian sentences. The form is used to refer to a specific figure or figurine within a sentence, typically in contexts involving art, sculpture, or geometry, though it is not a standalone lexical item in English-language lexicons.

Etymology and forms: figura is a Latin root meaning form or shape, and it has given rise to cognate terms in several European languages. In Hungarian, the borrowed term is adapted as figura or figúra, with figurát serving as the definite accusative form when the figure is the direct object of the verb.

Usage notes: Figurát appears in Hungarian texts where the figure is the object of the action. It can refer to a three-dimensional sculpture, a model, or a geometric figure, depending on context. Because it is a grammatical form rather than an independent English lexical item, translations into English depend on context and may yield “the figure,” “the figurine,” or “the statue.”

Limitations: Figurát is primarily of value within explanations of Hungarian grammar. In English discourse, the inflected form is not used as a separate word; speakers would typically render it with an appropriate English noun, such as “the figure” or “the figurine.”
