legolcsóbb

Legolcsóbb is a Hungarian adjective meaning “the cheapest.” It is the superlative form used to indicate that something has the lowest price compared with other options. The term appears in everyday language, advertising, and consumer comparison contexts, often preceding a noun, as in ez a legolcsóbb ár (this is the cheapest price), or can be used predicatively, as in ez a megoldás a legolcsóbb.

Linguistically, legolcsóbb is formed by prefixing leg- to the comparative form olcsóbb, which itself derives from olcsó (cheap). The construction is standard in Hungarian for expressing the supreme degree of an adjective.

In practical use, legolcsóbb is commonly employed in price comparisons, marketing claims, and online marketplaces to attract attention to perceived cost advantages. Because price claims can influence consumer decisions, they are often subject to advertising standards and consumer protection rules. In many jurisdictions, claims like “a legolcsóbb” must be substantiated and clearly defined, with transparent criteria such as the set of products compared, time frame, and any additional costs included in the comparison.

Limitations of the claim include its relative nature: “the cheapest” depends on which items are included, which variants or options are considered, and whether taxes, shipping, or fees are counted. Therefore, when legolcsóbb is used in advertising, it is prudent to specify the scope of comparison to avoid misinterpretation.
