gazdagabbak

Gazdagabbak is a Hungarian term formed from the adjective gazdag (rich) with the comparative suffix -abb and the plural ending -ak. It functions as a nominal phrase meaning “the richer ones” or “the wealthier people,” referring to a group defined by higher wealth relative to another group.

Grammatically, gazdagabbak is the nominative plural of the comparative adjective used as a noun. When needed in other cases, Hungarian inflects it in the same way as other plural noun phrases, for example: a gazdagabbak (the richer ones), a gazdagabbaknak (to the richer ones), a gazdagabbakat (the richer ones as direct object).

Usage and meaning, Gazdagabbak is typically used in contexts comparing different socioeconomic groups. It appears in sociology, economics, journalism, and everyday speech to discuss wealth distribution, policy effects, or social dynamics. While neutral in itself, the term often appears in discussions about inequality and related public debates, where it can carry evaluative connotations depending on phrasing and context.

Examples:

The article contrasted the incomes of the gazdagabbak and the szegényebbek (the poorer) to illustrate growing disparities. In surveys, researchers sometimes report attitudes toward taxation by comparing responses from the gazdagabbak and other income groups. The phrase can also appear in headlines to highlight differences between the gazdagabbak and the middle class.
