gyermekes

Gyermekes is a Hungarian adjective formed from the noun gyermek (child) with the suffix -es, meaning "having children" or "with children." It describes people, households, or things characterized by the presence of children and is most commonly used as a modifier in noun phrases such as gyermekes család (a family with children), gyermekes szülők (parents with children), or gyermekes háztartás (a household with children).

It can also refer to individuals as parents in informal usage: expressions like gyermekes anyuka or gyermekes apa are common in everyday speech, media, and advertising to signal family status. The term is frequently encountered in contexts related to housing, services, pricing, and marketing aimed at families.

From a sociolinguistic perspective, the term functions as a straightforward demographic descriptor used in statistics, marketing, and policy discussions to distinguish households with children from those without. It is generally neutral, though context can imply practical or evaluative nuances, such as discounts or family-oriented services for "gyermekes" customers.

Related terms include gyermekmentes or gyermektelen (without children) and gyermekbarát (child-friendly), which are used when discussing services, facilities, or policies in relation to children. The distinction between these terms helps categorize consumer needs, housing options, and public amenities in social and economic analyses.

Example: Az új bevásárlóközpont gyakran kínál gyermekes családoknak kedvezményeket.
