Hónapot

Hónapot is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun hónap, which means "month." In Hungarian, this form is used when the noun functions as the direct object of a verb or when counting duration with numerals.

In usage, hónapot appears in sentences that express a duration of time. For example, Egy hónapot dolgoztam means "I worked for a month." Similarly, Két hónapot töltöttünk ott means "We spent two months there." The form is tied to the numerals that precede it, such as egy hónapot, két hónapot, harminc hónapot, and so on.

For plural references, the accusative changes to hónapokat. For instance, Három hónapot vártam translates to "I waited for three months." The basic noun is hónap; when referring to multiple months in the objective case, the suffix -okat is used.

Hónapot is primarily a grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical item. It denotes duration and appears in contexts where a verb governs the amount of time or the object of an action is measured in months. Learners may encounter potential confusion with the closely related, but distinct, greeting Jó napot, which means "Good day" and is used as a salutation rather than a duration marker.
