Mintázatú

Mintázatú is a Hungarian adjective meaning “patterned,” used to describe objects whose surface displays a repeating design or motif. It is formed from the noun mintázat (pattern) with the suffix -ú, producing an adjective that precedes the noun, as in mintázatú anyag or mintázatú ruházat.

In everyday language, mintázatú is common in contexts such as fashion, textiles, interior design, and manufacturing to indicate that a material, surface, or product bears a decorative pattern. It is closely related to mintás, which has the same basic meaning and is often more common in informal speech; mintázatú can be seen as slightly more formal or technical. Both terms can describe fabrics, wallpapers, upholstery, or printed items.

Regarding examples of patterns, forms include csíkos (striped), pöttyös (polka-dotted), and virágmintás (floral-patterned). In practical use, speakers may prefer the specific pattern adjectives (virágmintás, csíkos) or, in some cases, mintázatú to denote a general patterned material, especially in catalogs or technical descriptions.
