Mértékhatározók

Mértékhatározók is a Hungarian grammatical term referring to determiners that express quantity or measure. These words modify nouns to indicate how much of something there is, or if it is specific or unspecific. They are a crucial part of the Hungarian noun phrase, providing essential information about the noun's reference.

Common mértékhatározók include words like sok (much/many), kevés (little/few), több (more), kevesebb (less), minden (all/every), semmi (nothing), ezer (thousand), and millió (million). They can function in various ways within a sentence. For example, "sok ember" translates to "many people," where "sok" quantifies "ember." Similarly, "minden nap" means "every day," with "minden" specifying the scope of "nap."

These determiners often agree with the noun they modify, though this agreement can be complex and dependent on whether the noun is definite or indefinite, and whether it is singular or plural. Understanding mértékhatározók is essential for both comprehending and constructing grammatically correct Hungarian sentences, as they play a vital role in establishing the quantity and specificity of nouns within discourse.
