hosszabbnál

Hosszabb is a Hungarian word meaning "longer". It is the comparative form of the adjective "hosszú," which means "long." In Hungarian grammar, comparative adjectives are formed by adding the suffix "-bb" to the base adjective. Therefore, "hosszabb" directly translates to "longer" and is used to compare two or more things in terms of their length.

For example, one might say "Ez az út hosszabb, mint az előző" which translates to "This road is longer than the previous one." Here, "hosszabb" is used to make a direct comparison. The word can also be used in a more general sense to indicate an extended duration or a greater quantity. For instance, "hosszabb idő" means "a longer time," and "hosszabb távolság" means "a longer distance."

The superlative form in Hungarian, meaning "longest," is "leghosszabb," formed by adding the prefix "leg-" to the comparative form. Thus, "hosszabb" occupies a specific grammatical position in the Hungarian language, facilitating comparisons of length and duration. Its usage is straightforward and consistent with the general rules of Hungarian adjective declension.
