ennyi

Ennyi is a Hungarian word that functions as a demonstrative quantifier and pronoun meaning “this much” or “this many.” It is used to indicate a specific or stated amount and can modify a following noun or stand alone in response to a question about quantity or extent. The term is part of everyday Hungarian and appears in both spoken and written language, often signaling sufficiency or a boundary that has been reached.

Usage has several common forms. Before a count noun, ennyi expresses a concrete quantity, as in Ennyi tojás van a kosárban (There are this many eggs in the basket). In a question such as Hány darab van belőle? one can answer with Ennyi (This many). Ennyi is also used in exclamations or closing remarks to indicate that no more is needed, for example Ennyi volt (That was all) or Ennyi, köszönöm (That’s enough, thank you).

Grammatical notes: Ennyi is a native Hungarian quantity word and typically appears before a noun without requiring extensive inflection. It is closely related to related forms such as ennyit (that much), ennyire (to this extent), and annyi (that many), which express related notions of amount or degree with slightly different emphases.
