névmásokat

Névmásokat, or pronouns in English, are words that replace nouns or noun phrases. They function to avoid repetition and to refer to people, animals, or things without explicitly naming them. In Hungarian, névmásokat play a crucial role in sentence structure and clarity.

There are several categories of névmásokat. Personal pronouns, such as én (I), te (you), ő (he/she/it), mi (we), ti (you plural), and ők (they), refer to the participants in a conversation or to third parties. Possessive pronouns, like enyém (mine), tied (yours), övé (his/hers/its), miénk (ours), tiétek (yours plural), and övék (theirs), indicate ownership. Demonstrative pronouns, such as ez (this), az (that), ezek (these), and azok (those), point to specific items or people. Interrogative pronouns, like ki (who), mi (what), and melyik (which), are used to ask questions. Relative pronouns, such as aki (whoever/he who), ami (whatever/that which), and amelyik (whichever), introduce subordinate clauses. Indefinite pronouns, such as valaki (someone), valami (something), and mindenki (everyone), refer to unspecified persons or things.

The use of névmásokat can vary depending on grammatical case and number, which are integral to Hungarian grammar. Proper understanding of these variations is essential for correct usage.
