Toldalékot

Toldalékot is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun toldalék. In Hungarian, toldalék primarily means an affix attached to a word to modify its meaning or grammatical function, i.e., a suffix or affix used in word formation. The term is also used more generally to denote an addition or attachment, such as an extra element added to something.

In linguistic usage, toldalék refers to the suffixes that attach to stems to express case, number, tense, or derivational changes. It is a standard term in Hungarian grammar and morphology, with the plural form toldalékok when discussing multiple affixes.

In non-linguistic or financial contexts, toldalék can denote an additional charge or surcharge added to a base amount, though in everyday usage more common terms for such charges are felár or pótdíj. When toldalék is used in this sense, toldalékot can function as the direct object in a sentence, for example: A szó toldalékot kapott (The word received a suffix).

Etymology in Hungarian is native, formed with the root associated with attachment and the nominal suffix -ék, and it is most frequently encountered in grammatical discussions. The word’s specific origin is not always stated in general references.
