Melléknévtbl

Melléknévtbl is a Hungarian word that translates to "adjective table" in English. It refers to a linguistic concept used in the Hungarian language to describe the declension of adjectives. In Hungarian, adjectives must agree with the nouns they modify in terms of case, number, and definiteness. This agreement is reflected in the form of the adjective, which changes according to the noun it accompanies.

The adjective table, or melléknévtbl, is a tool used by linguists and language learners to understand and predict the correct form of an adjective based on the noun it modifies. It typically includes columns for different cases (nominative, accusative, dative, etc.) and rows for different numbers (singular and plural) and definiteness (definite and indefinite). Each cell in the table contains the appropriate form of the adjective.

For example, the adjective "kicsi" (small) changes form depending on the noun it modifies. When modifying a singular, indefinite noun like "könyv" (book), it remains "kicsi". However, when modifying a singular, definite noun like "a könyv" (the book), it becomes "kicsi". The adjective table helps to systematically organize and remember these variations.
