kisgyermekeket

kisgyermekeket is a Hungarian term that literally means "young children" and is used as the accusative plural form of the noun phrase kis gyermek (small child). It typically refers to children from infancy up to approximately six or seven years of age, before they enter primary schooling. In everyday speech the word is often used in contexts involving childcare, educational settings, or discussions about childhood development.

In Hungarian grammar, kisgyermekeket follows the rules for case inflection: the noun gyermek becomes gyermekek in the plural, and the suffixek is moved to the plural ending –ek, while the accusative marker –et is attached to the whole word, yielding kisgyermekeket. This form signals that the children are the object of an action.

The term is common in Hungarian media when reporting on child welfare, school enrollment statistics, or public policy that targets early childhood. It also appears in literary descriptions that emphasize the innocence and vulnerability of the youngest members of society. The word carries no special connotations beyond its descriptive function; it is used in both formal and informal contexts, though in very formal contexts one might prefer the institutional phrase “kiskorú gyermekek”, which translates more directly to “minor children”.
