Leghangosabb

Leghangosabb is a Hungarian superlative adjective meaning the loudest. It describes the greatest level of loudness within a defined group or context and is used to compare sounds, voices, or other audible phenomena.

It is formed from the adjective hangos (loud) with the superlative prefix leg- and the suffix -abb, yielding leghangosabb. The standard spelling reflects the combination leg + hangos + abb, producing leghangosabb. The form agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case, for example: a leghangosabb hang az utcán (the loudest sound on the street).

Usage: Leghangosabb is commonly used in spoken and written Hungarian for direct comparison. It answers the question “Which is loudest?” and is typically found with determiners such as a, ez a, vagy az a. In very formal or precise contexts, one might describe maximum loudness with expressions like legnagyobb hangerővel rendelkező, but leghangosabb remains the standard superlative form for loudness.

Etymology: The word is formed by the leg- prefix indicating the superlative, combined with the base hangos and the comparative suffix -abb; the final form is leghangosabb. See also hangos, hangosság, and the leg- prefix used for superlatives.
