Pohárat

Pohárat is the definite direct object form of the Hungarian noun pohár, meaning a cup or glass. It is used when the cup is the object of a verb and the reference is definite, for example when the speaker assumes both speaker and listener know which cup is meant. The form is created by adding the suffix -at to pohár and placing the definite article in front, producing the phrase a poharat.

Common usage follows standard Hungarian grammar, where the definite direct object is marked by the suffix -at and the article a or az precedes the noun. Examples include Látom a poharat (I see the cup), Hozd be a poharat (Bring in the cup), and A poharat az asztalra tettem (I put the cup on the table).

In everyday language, pohár refers primarily to a drinking vessel. The term can also appear in broader contexts, such as in sports or ceremonies, where a cup-shaped trophy is described as a pohár, though many contexts use the loanword kupa instead. The word is common across Hungarian-speaking communities and appears in expressions related to drinking, serving, and polite requests involving vessels.
