fazekat

Fazekat is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun fazék, which means a pot, cooking pot, or kettle. In Hungarian grammar, nouns decline for case, and fazekat marks the direct object of a sentence. The form indicates that the pot is the thing affected by the action; the corresponding nominative is fazék (the pot).

Usage of fazekat occurs whenever the pot is the object of an action. The definite object form (fazekat) is commonly used with known or specified pots, and it often appears with articles such as a or egy in sentences. Examples include: Megvettem a fazekat. (I bought the pot.) Látom egy fazekat az asztalon. (I see a pot on the table.)

Relation to related terms: Fazék is the base noun meaning “pot.” Fazekas is a common Hungarian surname meaning “potter,” and it can also refer to someone who makes pots. Fazekat, by contrast, is not typically a standalone lexical entry outside its grammatical role as an inflected form of fazék.

In broader use, fazekat may appear in literature or speech to denote ordinary kitchenware, and its appearance is governed by standard Hungarian case marking rules. For learners, recognizing fazekat helps identify direct objects and understand how noun endings reflect grammatical role in a sentence.
