egyéneket

Egyéneket is a Hungarian term formed as the accusative plural of the noun egyén, which means an individual person. The word is used when referring to several persons as objects of an action or as the direct target of a statement, rather than speaking about people in general.

In usage, egyén conveys a sense of persons considered as discrete, autonomous entities. It is more common in formal, philosophical, sociological, or analytical contexts than in everyday speech, where words like ember or személy lehetnek. The plural nominative form is egyének, while the accusative plural is egyéneket. This distinction helps mark who is affected by a verb or a preposition in a sentence.

Examples: Az egyéneket megkérdezték a véleményükről. A törvényjavaslat az egyéneket érinti, akik személyes adatait érintheti. These sentences illustrate how egyéneket functions as the direct object of actions such as kérdezni (to ask) or érinteni (to affect).

Relation to related terms: egyén is the base noun meaning an individual person; egyéni is an adjective meaning “individual” or “personal.” The term is often contrasted with csoport, közösség, vagy társadalom, which refer to groups rather than isolated persons.
