Nyugtát

Nyugtát is the definite singular accusative form of the Hungarian noun nyugta, which most commonly means a receipt or proof of payment in a commercial transaction. In everyday Hungarian, nyugta is the slip you receive after paying for a purchase, while the word számla is used for an invoice or bill in many business contexts.

In grammar, nyugtát appears when the receipt is the direct object of a verb. For example, in a purchase setting one might say Kérem a nyugtát, meaning I would like the receipt. This form contrasts with the indefinite or plural forms, such as nyugta (the receipt in a general sense) or nyugták (the receipts in plural).

Usage and context can vary by region and by the type of transaction. Nyugta is typically associated with retail sales and small purchases, where a simple proof of payment is provided. In larger or business-to-business purchases, an invoice (számla) is more commonly used, though both documents may be issued in some contexts.

Origin and related terms: nyugta is a native Hungarian noun used in everyday commerce. Related terms include nyugtaadó or nyugtázás in specialized or formal language, and nyugalom and nyugtató, which are etymologically distinct though sharing a common root related to calm or rest in other senses of Hungarian vocabulary.
