problémát

Problémát is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun problémá, meaning “problem.” It is used when the problem is the direct object of a sentence. For example: Megoldjuk a problémát (We will solve the problem) and Elmondtam a problémát a tanárnak (I told the teacher about the problem).

The noun probléma is a loanword that entered Hungarian from French problème, with roots in Latin and Greek. In modern Hungarian, problémá is a common term across formal and informal speech to refer to a difficulty, obstacle, or matter requiring a solution. The form problémát is created by adding the standard accusative suffix -t to the word; placement of articles or determiners (a, az, egy) does not change this final -t.

In usage, problémát appears in a wide range of contexts, from everyday issues to technical or academic discussions. It is often paired with verbs like megoldani (to solve), kezelni (to handle), elmondani (to tell about), vagy vitatni (to debate). Related forms include the nominative probléma (the problem), the plural problémák (the problems), and the indefinite singular egy problémát (a problem).

Notes on grammar: Hungarian marks case through endings and uses definite or indefinite object forms via verb conjugation rather than a distinct noun form; however, the accusative -t is always present when the problem is treated as a direct object. Probléma remains the base noun; problémát is its standard object form.
