Tanulmányt

Tanulmányt is the definite accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun tanulmány. The base word tanulmány has two closely related meanings: a study or the act of studying, and a formal written work such as an essay, article, or monograph. In everyday and academic use, tanulmány can refer to scholarly writing as well as to the process of studying. The form tanulmányt is used when the noun functions as a definite direct object in a sentence, for example when referring to a specific study or paper that is being read or discussed.

Etymologically, tanulmány is derived from the verb tanul, meaning to learn, with the suffix -mány, which creates abstract nouns denoting the result or product of an action. The word has come to cover both the act of studying and a substantial written work produced through study. The plural form is tanulmányok, and the related definite form tanulmányt appears whenever the speaker means a particular study or paper.

In Hungarian, tanulmány is commonly used in academic contexts to denote a scholarly article, a report of original research, or a comprehensive essay. It can also refer more generally to the act of studying. Synonyms vary by nuance, with cikk (article), írás (writing), and dolgozat (thesis or term paper) frequently appearing in related contexts. The choice among them depends on length, formality, and purpose. Tanulmányt, as the definite object form, is typical when a specific work is being referenced, such as in citations or discussions of a particular study.
