részt

részt is the accusative form of the Hungarian noun rész, meaning part, portion, or share. In ordinary usage, részt mainly appears in idiomatic expressions that express participation, most notably the verb phrase részt venni, meaning to take part or to participate.

Grammatically, részt functions as a direct object in these constructions, which is why it takes the -t ending. The base form rész denotes a part of a whole, and részt is used when that part is what is being involved or taken part with in an action. Common related verbs include venni (to take) and vállalni (to undertake), both of which can pair with részt to express participation in aactivity or event.

Common usages include:

- részt venni valamiben: to take part in something. Examples: Én részt veszek a megbeszélésen. Ők részt vettek a projekten.

- részt kell vennie valamiben: it is necessary for someone to take part in something. Example: A vezetőnek részt kell vennie a megbeszélésen.

In addition to its participatory sense, rész (the singular noun) broadly covers parts of a whole or shares in a larger context, though this sense is typically expressed with other constructions or adjectives rather than the fixed részt form.

Overall, részt is a key element in Hungarian expressions of participation, most prominently in részt venni, where it marks the object of the action of taking part.
