legkeskenyebb

Legkeskenyebb is a Hungarian superlative adjective meaning “the narrowest.” It is used to describe the greatest degree of narrowness among a group of objects, spaces, or dimensions. The word appears in contexts where a comparison involves three or more items.

The form is built from the base adjective keskeny, meaning narrow. Its comparative form is keskenyebb, and the superlative is formed by prefixing leg to the comparative, yielding legkeskenyebb. This construction follows the common Hungarian pattern where leg- marks the superlative degree using the comparative stem.

In use, legkeskenyebb typically precedes a noun and agrees with it in number and case. Examples include: a legkeskenyebb út a városban (the narrowest road in the city), a legkeskenyebb ajtó (the narrowest door), or Ez a legkeskenyebb része a csőnek (This is the narrowest part of the tube). It can also appear in predicative position with a form of van, as in Ez a cső a legkeskenyebb. Such phrases are common in descriptions of architecture, geography, engineering, or any setting requiring precise dimensional comparisons.

Notes on usage: legkeskenyebb is appropriate when contrasting three or more items. When only two items are compared, the standard comparative keskenyebb is often sufficient. The term is a standard part of Hungarian grammar and is used in both formal and descriptive writing to specify extreme narrowness.
