Kétszótagú

Kétszótagú is a Hungarian adjective meaning "two-syllable." It is used to describe words, phrases, or other linguistic units that consist of exactly two syllables. For example, the Hungarian word "alma" (apple) is kétszótagú because it has two syllables. This term is primarily used in linguistics and phonetics when analyzing the structure of words.

The concept of syllable count is fundamental in understanding the rhythm and prosody of a language. Kétszótagú words contribute to the overall metrical pattern of Hungarian speech. Identifying kétszótagú words can be important in various linguistic studies, including poetry analysis, language acquisition research, and the development of speech recognition software.

In Hungarian, syllable structure is generally determined by vowel sounds. Each vowel typically forms the nucleus of a syllable. Therefore, a kétszótagú word will contain two vowel sounds, potentially separated by consonants. While most common words in Hungarian are short, the presence of kétszótagú words is significant in the language's lexicon. This classification is a straightforward descriptive term rather than a complex grammatical feature.
