Jelenetet

Jelenetet is the definite direct object form of the Hungarian noun jelenet, which means scene. The form is used when the scene is the object of a transitive verb, marking it as the known or specific scene being referred to in the sentence.

Grammar and formation are typical of Hungarian accusative morphology. Jelenet serves as the base noun, and the suffix -et marks the noun as a definite direct object. In practice, jelenetet appears in sentences where the speaker and listener both identify the exact scene being discussed, often in combination with the definite article a/az or other definiteness markers.

Usage and examples illustrate its role in narrative and descriptive discourse. Common contexts include film, theatre, and visual narration, where the speaker discusses a particular scene. Examples include: “Láttam a jelenetet.” (“I saw the scene.”) and “A jelenetet a rendező mutatta be a sajtó hangulatában.” (The scene was shown by the director to the press.) The form helps to convey definiteness and focus within a clause.

Notes and related terms: jelenet is the noun meaning “scene,” while jelenetet is the accusative definite form. This is one instance of Hungarian’s system of marking direct objects for definiteness with suffixes. See also: jelenet, Hungarian grammar, direct object, suffix -et.
