sikert

Sikert is the definite direct object form of the Hungarian noun siker, meaning “success.” In Hungarian, nouns change form to indicate case, and the ending -t marks the accusative. Therefore sikert appears when the word is the object of a verb and is specified as a particular, known success.

Usage is common when conveying that someone achieved or celebrated a particular success. The corresponding indefinite form is egy sikert, meaning “a success.” For example, a sentence like Az edző megünnepelte a sikert translates to “The coach celebrated the success.” Another example is Elértük a sikert, meaning “We achieved the success.” The phrase is typically used in past or future contexts where a definite success is being discussed.

Related forms include sikerek (the successes) in the nominative plural, and sikereket as the accusative plural form. The root word siker, from which sikert is derived, is a core Hungarian term for success or achievement. The adjective form is sikertelen, meaning “unsuccessful,” and other derivations use the same root to describe related concepts such as achieving, achieving goals, or the state of success.

In summary, sikert functions as the accusative singular form of siker, used to refer to a specific, recognized success as the direct object in a sentence. It contrasts with the nominative siker and the indefinite egy sikert form used in other syntactic contexts.
