legvastagabb

Legvastagabb is a Hungarian superlative form of the adjective vastag, meaning “the thickest.” It is used to indicate that something has the greatest thickness among three or more items. The English equivalent is “the thickest” or, in some contexts, “the thickest of all.”

Formation and spelling: The base adjective vastag forms a comparative as vastagabb (“thicker”). To create the superlative, the prefix leg- is added to the comparative, yielding legvastagabb. The word is written as a single unit and follows standard Hungarian vowel harmony and agreement rules with the noun it modifies.

Usage: Legvastagabb is used when ranking items by thickness. It typically accompanies a noun and agrees with number and case. For example: Ez a fa a legvastagabb a kertben. (This tree is the thickest in the garden.) A legvastagabb falat választottuk ki. (We chose the thickest wall.) Legvastagabb can describe physical thickness as well as figurative thickness in certain contexts, though the latter is less common and may sound formal or literary.

Related terms: The base adjective vastag means “thick,” leg- is a prefix forming the superlative, and vastagabb is the comparative form meaning “thicker.” Other Hungarian superlatives use similar patterns with different stems (e.g., legnagyobb from nagy).
