legszkebb

Legszkebb is a Hungarian adjectives term meaning the narrowest. It is the superlative form of the adjective szűk (narrow), formed with the prefix leg- and the comparative suffix -ebb, yielding legszűkebb in standard orthography. The variant legszkebb, without the diacritic on the u, occasionally appears in non-diacritic texts or as a misspelling, but the correct spelling in Hungarian is legszűkebb.

Formation and spelling notes: The proper construction is leg- plus the comparative form szűkebb, giving legszűkebb. In standard Hungarian, diacritics are important and legszűkebb is preferred in formal writing. The word functions as a modifier that precedes a noun, indicating that something is the most narrow within a group.

Usage: Legszűkebb is used to compare a set of items and identify the one with the least width or breadth. It can describe physical spaces, dimensions, or abstract constraints. Examples: Ez a folyosó a legszűkebb a házban. Ez a sztráda a legszűkebb a városban. In plural contexts, the form remains legszűkebb before the noun, e.g., a legszűkebb utcák.

Related terms: szűk (narrow), legszélesebb (the widest) and legkisebb (the smallest) illustrate Hungarian’s regular superlative formation with leg- plus the appropriate base adjective. Word choice depends on the noun's context and the degree of narrowing being described.
