némelyik

némelyik is a Hungarian indefinite pronoun. It translates to "some of them" or "a few of them" in English. It is used to refer to an unspecified subset of a previously mentioned or understood group of things or people. The pronoun agrees in number with the noun it refers to, typically taking the singular form even when referring to multiple individuals or items, as it implies a selection from a larger whole.

For example, if discussing a group of books, one might say "némelyik érdekesebb" which means "some of them are more interesting." Similarly, when talking about people, "némelyikük elégedett" translates to "some of them are satisfied." The pronoun often appears with a possessive suffix to indicate the specific items or individuals being referred to, such as "némelyikük" (some of them) or "némelyiküké" (that of some of them). Its usage is generally synonymous with "pár" (a few) or "néhány" (some), but "némelyik" often carries a slightly more selective or distinguished connotation, implying that the chosen subset has particular characteristics. It is a versatile pronoun used in both spoken and written Hungarian to convey partiality within a larger set.
