Legzajosabb

Legzajosabb is a Hungarian adjective meaning the noisiest. It functions as the superlative form of zajos, which means noisy or loud. The word is built by taking the base adjective zajos and adding the comparative suffix -abb to form zajosabb (noisier), then applying the superlative prefix leg- to yield legzajosabb (the noisiest). In standard Hungarian, leg- marks the extreme degree of an adjective, and the result is typically used before a noun or in predicative position.

Usage and nuance: legzajosabb is used to describe the highest level of noise within a group, setting, or sequence. It often appears in descriptive writing or expressive speech to emphasize an extreme auditory condition, such as a particularly loud crowd, concert, or environment. While legzajosabb is correct and understood, many speakers prefer the more common leghangosabb for everyday contexts when referring to loudness, as it aligns with a more standard collocation for “the loudest.” Legzajosabb can carry a slightly stronger or more vivid connotation of pervasive or overwhelming noise.

Etymology and related forms: The base zajos derives from zaj, the root for noise, and leg- plus -abb forms the superlative. Related adjectives include zajos, zajosabb, and leghangosabb, the latter often preferred in formal or neutral registers. See also zaj, hangos, leg-.
