hímnem

Hímnem, also known as the masculine gender, is one of the three grammatical genders in the Hungarian language, alongside nőnem (feminine) and semlegesnem (neuter). In Hungarian, nouns are categorized into these genders, which influence the form of adjectives and pronouns that modify or refer to them. The hímnem is typically used for nouns that refer to male humans, animals, and certain inanimate objects. For example, the word for "man" is férfi, which is hímnem, and the word for "dog" is kutya, also hímnem. Adjectives and pronouns that modify hímnem nouns take specific endings. For instance, the adjective "big" is nagy, and when modifying a hímnem noun, it becomes nagy, with no change in form. Similarly, the pronoun "he" is ő, and when referring to a hímnem noun, it remains ő. The hímnem is an important aspect of Hungarian grammar, helping to convey meaning and clarity in communication.
