Túlzónak

Túlzónak is the predicative form of the Hungarian adjective túlzó, meaning excessive or exaggerated. It is used to describe a situation, statement, or object as being excessive, often in a judgmental sense.

In Hungarian syntax, túlzónak functions as a predicative complement after verbs that express appearance, perception, or evaluation, such as tűnik (to seem), látszik (to appear), vagy talál (to find/consider). The form is built by adding the suffix -nak/-nek to the adjective, producing a phrase that describes the subject rather than acting as a separate object.

Usage examples include: Ez túlzónak tűnik. (This seems excessive.) A beszéd túlzónak látszik. (The speech appears to be exaggerated.) A megoldást túlzónak találta. (He found the solution to be excessive.)

Túlzónak is versatile in tone, common in both everyday language and more formal critique, and it often appears in opinionated or evaluative sentences. Its emphasis is on the degree of excess or exaggeration rather than on a neutral description.

Etymology and related forms: The word derives from túlzó (excessive, exaggerated) with the predicative suffix -nak/-nek. The related noun túlzás means exaggeration, which underpins the semantic field of the adjective and its predicative use.
