pántokat

Pántokat is a Hungarian term that can refer to several related concepts, primarily concerning straps, bands, or belts. In its most common usage, it describes a strap or band used for fastening or securing something. This could include a strap on a bag, a belt worn around the waist, or the bands used to hold items together for transport. The singular form is "pánt".

The word "pántokat" itself is the plural accusative case of "pánt," indicating "straps" or "bands" as the direct object of a verb. For example, one might say they are tightening the "pántokat" of a backpack.

Beyond general fastening, "pántokat" can also refer to specific types of straps. In the context of clothing, it might describe bra straps or suspender straps. In a more technical or industrial setting, it could refer to the straps used in machinery or for securing cargo. The specific context usually clarifies the precise meaning.

Historically, the term could also be applied to bands of metal or other materials used in construction or for decorative purposes. However, in modern Hungarian, the primary association remains with flexible straps and bands for securing and fastening. The versatility of the word allows it to be applied across a wide range of everyday objects and situations.
