Predikátorkiegészít

Predikátorkiegészítő is a Hungarian term that translates to "predicate complement" in English. It refers to a word or phrase that completes the meaning of a predicate, often providing essential information about the subject or object. In Hungarian grammar, predicate complements are crucial for constructing grammatically correct and meaningful sentences. They can take various forms, including nouns, adjectives, adverbs, or even entire clauses.

The function of a predikátorkiegészítő is to provide additional information that the predicate alone cannot fully convey. For instance, in the sentence "A fiú piros ruhát visel" (The boy wears a red dress), "piros ruhát" (a red dress) acts as a predicate complement, specifying what the boy is wearing. Without this complement, the sentence "A fiú visel" (The boy wears) would be incomplete and ambiguous.

Predicate complements can be directly linked to the predicate or indirectly related through prepositions or other grammatical structures. The specific type and placement of a predikátorkiegészítő depend on the verb and the overall sentence structure. Understanding this grammatical concept is fundamental for mastering Hungarian sentence construction and comprehension. It helps in identifying the core components of a sentence and how they relate to each other to form a coherent thought.
