ilyenféle

ilyenféle is a Hungarian word that functions as an indefinite pronoun or adjective. It is often translated into English as "of this kind," "of this sort," or "such." It indicates that something is similar to something previously mentioned or understood, or that it belongs to a particular category or type.

The word is formed from the demonstrative pronoun "ilyen," meaning "this" or "such," and the suffix "-féle," which denotes "kind," "sort," or "type." Therefore, "ilyenféle" literally means "of this kind."

As an adjective, it modifies a noun, specifying its category. For instance, "ilyenféle problémák" means "these kinds of problems." It can also be used in a more general sense to express a degree of something, similar to "such." For example, "Nem számítottam ilyenféle nehézségekre" translates to "I didn't expect such difficulties."

The usage of "ilyenféle" is common in everyday Hungarian conversation and literature, serving to categorize or compare things based on their perceived characteristics or type. It is a versatile word that adds nuance to descriptions and statements.
