Sarkú

Sarkú is a Hungarian adjective meaning "with a heel" or "heeled." It is used to describe objects, especially footwear, that have a heel. The word derives from sarok, meaning heel or corner, with the suffix -ú, which forms adjectives indicating possession of a characteristic.

In everyday language the term is most common in fashion and clothing contexts. It typically accompanies nouns referring to footwear, such as cipő (shoe) or csizma (boot), to indicate the presence of a heel. Examples include magas sarkú cipő (high-heeled shoe), alacsony sarkú cipő (low-heeled shoe), and sarkú csizma (heeled boot). The adjective agrees with the noun in number and case, following standard Hungarian grammar.

Beyond footwear, sarkú can describe other objects that have a raised back end or a distinct heel-like feature, though this use is less frequent than with shoes. In descriptive writing about fashion, sarkú is often paired with color, material, or style (for example, fekete rétegelt sarkú cipő, velvet-heeled shoe).

Related terms include sarok (heel or corner) and related footwear descriptors such as magas sarkú (high-heeled) and alacsony sarkú (low-heeled). The concept is primarily a descriptive fashion term in Hungarian and does not denote a specific brand or model.
