Kamerát

Kamerát is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun kamera, meaning camera. It is used when the camera functions as the direct object of a verb in a sentence. In Hungarian, direct objects are shown with suffixes, and kamerát specifically marks the definite direct object form in the singular.

A typical usage contrasts the definite and indefinite forms through articles rather than a separate noun form. For example: látom a kamerát means “I see the camera,” while látok egy kamerát means “I see a camera.” The -t ending appears in both cases because it marks the direct object; the surrounding article (a/az for definite, egy for indefinite) communicates definiteness.

The plural accusative form is kamerákat, used for plural direct objects: látom a kamerákat means “I see the cameras.” As a common noun, kamera covers devices used to capture images or video, including still cameras, video cameras, webcams, and related equipment. In everyday language, it appears in technical, media, and consumer contexts, as well as in compound terms where the camera is a component of a larger device or system.

Related forms include the nominative kamera (the camera) and plural kamerák (cameras). The word is widely used in Hungarian-speaking media and writing to refer to imaging devices, with kamerát functioning as the standard accusative form when the camera is the object of an action.
