hányadikt

"Hányadikt" is a Hungarian word that functions as an interrogative ordinal number. It translates most directly to "which" in the context of ordering or ranking items or people. For example, if someone asks "Hányadikt vagy?" in a race, they are asking "Which position are you in?" or "What is your place?". It is used to inquire about the sequential order of something within a series.

The word is derived from the Hungarian word "hány", meaning "how many", and the suffix "-adik", which is used to form ordinal numbers in Hungarian. This structure highlights its function of asking about a specific position in a sequence rather than a quantity. It is typically used when referring to singular items or individuals. The usage of "hányadikt" is specific to Hungarian grammar and does not have a direct single-word equivalent in many other languages. When used, it requires a noun or context to specify what is being ranked or ordered.
