kisfiú

Kisfiú is a Hungarian noun meaning "little boy" or "young boy." It is a compound formed from kis (small) and fiú (boy) and is used to refer to a male child, typically younger than adolescence. The term is common in everyday speech as well as in writing, including journalism and literature.

In use, kisfiú is neutral and versatile. It can appear with the definite article as "a kisfiú" or with a demonstrative like "ez a kisfiú." The plural form is kisfiúk, used when referring to several boys. Like other Hungarian nouns, it inflects for number and case (for example kisfiút in the accusative, kisfiúnak for the dative/benefactive, kisfiúk in the plural). It can be modified by adjectives, for example "nagy kisfiú" (a big boy) or "kedves kisfiú" (a kind little boy). The term is common in descriptions of children and in narrative contexts.

Etymology is straightforward: kis is native Hungarian for "small," and fiú is the standard word for "boy." The compound kisfiú is part of everyday vocabulary and reflects how Hungarian often combines base words to convey age or size in relation to a noun.
