hetedik

Hetedik is the Hungarian ordinal numeral meaning the seventh. It is used to indicate position or order within a sequence, serving as an adjective that precedes a noun.

Formation and form. Hetedik is formed from the cardinal number hét (seven) plus the ordinal suffix -edik, a standard pattern for many Hungarian ordinals. The form is regular and stable in contemporary usage. As an adjective, hetedik agrees with the noun in number and definiteness: for example, a hetedik nap (the seventh day), hetedik alkalom (the seventh occasion).

Usage. Ordinals in Hungarian are commonly used to designate dates, positions in lists, or rankings. Hetedik modifies a noun accordingly and may bear the definite article when appropriate: a hetedik része a könyvnek (the seventh part of the book). It also appears in phrases like a hetedik hónap (the seventh month), or in references such as hetedik helyezés (seventh place).

Context. While hetedik primarily functions as a grammatical term, it can occur in cultural titles or in general references to order in Hungarian texts. This article focuses on its grammatical function as an ordinal numeral rather than on specific works that may use the word in their titles.
