nyereményt

Nyereményt is the accusative singular of the Hungarian noun nyeremény, which means prize, winnings, or reward. It is used when the prize is the direct object of a verb. The base noun nyeremény refers to something won in a contest, lottery, game, or award process.

Etymology and meaning: Nyemmény derives from the verb nyerni, meaning to win, combined with a noun-forming suffix that yields a word for something won. The concept covers tangible prizes as well as monetary winnings and other awards.

Usage and examples: In everyday language nyeremény can describe prizes received in various contexts, from lotteries to promotional contests or official honors. The form nyereményt is employed specifically when the prize is the object of the sentence. Examples include: “A nyereményt a nyertes kapta” (The prize was received by the winner) and “Nyertem egy nyereményt a sorsoláson” (I won a prize in the drawing).

Synonyms and related terms: Common synonyms include díj (award/prize) and jutalom (reward). These terms carry slightly different nuances; díj often emphasizes an official prize or medal, while jutalom can refer to a reward for action or behavior.

Related phrases: Nyeményjáték (sweepstakes or prize game) and nyeremény összege (amount of the prize) are frequently encountered in media and advertising.

Notes: Nyereményt is a grammatical form rather than a separate concept; its use reflects standard Hungarian grammar for marking direct objects.
