Rövidebb

Rövidebb is the comparative form of the Hungarian adjective rövid, meaning “shorter” or “more brief.” It is used to compare the length or duration of two or more items. The form is created by adding the comparative suffix -ebb/-abb; for rövid, this yields rövidebb. The related superlative is legrövidebb, meaning “the shortest.”

Usage: Rövidebb can modify nouns directly in a sentence or appear with a copular verb. Examples: “A film rövidebb volt, mint a könyv.” (The film was shorter than the book.) “Ez a vonal rövidebb, mint a másik.” (This line is shorter than the other.)

Notes: In Hungarian, comparative forms agree with the grammar of the sentence, and the form typically remains the same across genders when used with the verb. Rövidebb is mainly used to indicate shorter length or duration and should not be confused with adverbial forms such as röviden, which means “briefly.” The superlative form is legrövidebb (the shortest).
