Utcát

It is a standard noun in everyday language, appearing in many compound place names and addresses. The plural form is utcák, and the accusative plural is utcákat.

Occasionally utca appears in street names, often following a given name or town landmark, such as Petőfi utca or Szabadság utca. In everyday speech, you will also encounter common spatial expressions involving utca, such as az utcán (on the street) or az utca végén (at the end of the street).
