Ismétldését

Ismétldését is a Hungarian noun form that denotes the act of repeating something and is used as a definite object in a sentence. In standard modern Hungarian, the common noun for this idea is ismétlés; the usual definite-object form is ismétlését. The form ismétldését is rarely attested in contemporary texts and is generally considered nonstandard, dialectal, or a misspelling of ismétlését. It may appear in older writings or regional varieties, but it is not part of the standard language.

Morphology and origin

The theoretical basis for ismétldését would involve the verb root ismétl- (from ismétel, to repeat) combined with the nominal suffix -dés, which forms an abstract noun meaning “the act of repeating.” The final suffix -ét marks a definite object referring back to a previously mentioned thing. In standard Hungarian, this construction would normally be expressed with ismétlését (the repetition of it) or with ismétlésének/ismétlését in appropriate grammatical contexts.

Usage and notes

Because ismétldését is not part of standard usage, most writers and editors would replace it with ismétlését or rephrase to avoid ambiguity. When discussing repetition in linguistic, literary, or pedagogical contexts, it is advisable to use the conventional forms of ismétlés and its case-specific derivatives. The term ismétlődés, meaning recurrence or repetition as a process, is related but distinct from the act of repeating a specific object.
