Esték is a Hungarian noun meaning “evenings.” It is the plural form of este, which denotes the period from sunset to night. Esték can refer to evenings in general or to several specific evenings across days, weeks, or events.

In everyday use, esték describes time as a countable plural. It is common with adjectives such as kellemes esték (pleasant evenings) or szép esték (beautiful evenings). The word can appear in phrases that discuss multiple evenings, such as a sequence of evenings during a vacation or a schedule spanning several evenings.

Grammatically, esték follows standard Hungarian plural formation by adding the suffix -ek to the base este. The noun is gender-neutral, as Hungarian does not assign grammatical gender to nouns. Like other time-related nouns, esték can be used with demonstratives and definite context, for example to refer to “the evenings” of a particular period.

Etymology-wise, esték is derived from este (evening) with the plural suffix -k, forming a regular plural that is common for time-denoting nouns. It is primarily a common noun used in reflective, descriptive, or temporal contexts in Hungarian.
