Illatosabb

Illatosabb is a Hungarian adjective describing a greater degree of fragrance. It is the comparative form of illatos, which means fragrant or scented. Illatos is built from illat, meaning “fragrance,” plus the suffix -os. To form the comparative, Hungarian attaches the suffix -abb or -obb depending on vowel harmony; with illatos the back-vowel harmony yields illatosabb.

Usage: It is used to compare two nouns. For example, Ez a virág illatosabb, mint az a virág, meaning “This flower is more fragrant than that one.” The comparative inflection agrees with the noun in number and definiteness just like other Hungarian adjectives. The superlative form is legillatosabb, meaning “the most fragrant.”

Notes: Hungarian makes a distinction between the positive (illatos), the comparative (illatosabb), and the superlative (legillatosabb). illatosabb functions primarily as an attributive adjective, modifying a noun in a sentence. It can appear in various positions as required by word order, and it conforms to standard adjective agreement rules in mood, number, and definiteness.

Related forms: illatos (positive), legillatosabb (superlative). The term is specifically used for sensory fragrance and does not carry metaphorical intensification beyond scent without additional context.
