kanalat

Kanalat is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun kanál, which means spoon. In Hungarian, nouns are declined for case, and kanál becomes kanalat when it is used as the direct object of a transitive verb. The form is typically used when referring to a specific spoon rather than a general spoon.

In practical terms, kanalat appears in sentences where the spoon is the thing receiving the action. For example, Megvettem a kanalat translates to I bought the spoon, with the spoon functioning as the object of the verb. The stem kanál denotes the utensil commonly used for eating, serving, or stirring, and kanalat is the grammatical form that links it to the action described by the verb.

Relation to other forms: kanál is the base singular noun meaning spoon, while the plural nominative form is kanalak. Other cases and numbers have their own different endings, illustrating Hungarian’s system of vowel harmony and suffixation.
