Stádiumú

Stádiumú is a Hungarian adjectival form meaning “of a stage” or “stage-specific.” It is used to indicate the stage or level of development of a condition, most often a disease, such as cancer. The form is created from the noun stádium (stage) plus the suffix -ú, yielding a word that agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case.

In practice, stádiumú is most common in medical language. It typically appears with a numeral indicating the stage, written with Roman numerals and a period, for example I. stádiumú, II. stádiumú, III. stádiumú, IV. stádiumú. The construction names the disease as being in a particular stage, e.g., IV. stádiumú rák (stage IV cancer) or I. stádiumú betegség. The adjective can modify various nouns, such as beteg, betegség, vagy rák, and it inflects according to case and number in the sentence.

Grammatically, stádiumú behaves as a typical Hungarian attributive adjective: it precedes the noun it modifies and agrees with it in number. When the noun is plural, the phrase remains stádiumú plus the plural noun, for example IV. stádiumú rákok. It is often used in formal or medical documentation and is less common in everyday language outside clinical contexts.
