Tárgyformat

Tárgyformat is a term used in Hungarian linguistics to refer to the accusative case of a noun. This grammatical case is employed to indicate the direct object of a transitive verb, essentially marking the entity that is directly affected by the action of the verb. For example, in the sentence "Olvasom a könyvet" (I am reading the book), "könyvet" is the accusative form of "könyv" (book), signifying that the book is the direct object of the verb "olvasom" (I am reading).

The accusative case in Hungarian is typically formed by adding the suffix "-t" or "-at" / "-et" to the noun, depending on the preceding vowel. For instance, "ház" (house) becomes "házat" in the accusative, while "ajtó" (door) becomes "ajtót". This case is crucial for understanding sentence structure and the roles of different elements within a Hungarian sentence. It distinguishes the subject from the object, ensuring clarity in communication. The correct use of tárgyformat is a fundamental aspect of mastering Hungarian grammar.
