ruhát

Ruhát is the accusative singular form of the Hungarian noun ruha, which means clothing or garment. The word ruha can refer to any item worn to cover or adorn the body, from everyday clothes to traditional attire. When the garment is the direct object of a verb, ruhát is used, as in the sentence felvette a ruhát, meaning “she/they put on the clothing” or “the garment.”

In Hungarian, ruhák is the nominative plural meaning “garments” or “clothes,” and ruhákat is the accusative plural. This distinction mirrors the singular forms and aligns with Hungarian case grammar, where the ending changes to mark number and case. The singular possessive forms attach to ruha as well, for example ruhája meaning “her/his clothes,” though these forms can vary with person and number.

Ruhát is commonly used in everyday language to refer to clothing in general or to a single garment depending on context. In more formal or literary contexts, terms such as öltözet or öltözék may be used to denote an outfit or attire, especially when referring to the overall appearance rather than individual items.

Overall, ruhat represents the core Hungarian noun for clothing, with a clear grammatical role as the direct object form in sentences and a set of plural and possessive variants that align with standard Hungarian noun inflection.
